Investment Securities:
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
funds 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
funds 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
funds net asset value.
At April 30, 2008, the cost of
investment securities for tax purposes was $3,200,607,000. Net unrealized appreciation of
investment securities for tax purposes was $2,188,271,000, consisting of unrealized gains
of $2,243,778,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and
$55,507,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their
purchase.
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 funds 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).

In September 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 157 (FAS 157), Fair Value
Measurements. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements, effective for the
funds current fiscal period.
Various inputs may be used to
determine the value of the funds investments. These inputs are summarized in three
broad levels:
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 funds own assumptions used to
determine the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for
valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing
in those securities.
The following table sumamrizes the
inputs used to value the funds net assets as of April 30, 2008:

Investment Securities:
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
funds 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
funds 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
funds 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.
At April 30, 2008, the cost of
investment securities for tax purposes was $16,972,989,000. Net unrealized appreciation of
investment securities for tax purposes was $6,323,747,000, consisting of unrealized gains
of $7,268,953,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and
$945,206,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their
purchase.
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 funds 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).

In September 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 157 (FAS 157), Fair Value
Measurements. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements, effective for the
funds current fiscal period.
Various inputs may be used to
determine the value of the funds investments. These inputs are summarized in three
broad levels:
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 funds own assumptions used to
determine the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for
valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing
in those securities.
The following table sumamrizes the
inputs used to value the funds net assets as of April 30, 2008:

1 Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of
1933. Such securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration,
normally to qualified institutional buyers. At April 30, 2008, the
value of this security represented 0.1% of net assets.
2 Affiliated money market fund available only to Vanguard funds and certain
trusts and accounts managed by Vanguard. Rate shown is the 7-day yield.
3 The issuer operates under a congressional charter; its securities are
neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. government. If needed, access to
additional funding from the U.S. Treasury (beyond the issuer's line of credit)
would require congressional action.
4 Securities with a value of $20,098,000 have been segregated as initial margin
for open futures contracts.
ADR - American Depositary Receipt.

Investment Securities
: 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
funds 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
funds 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
funds 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.
At April 30, 2008, the cost of
investment securities for tax purposes was $7,273,355,000. Net unrealized appreciation of
investment securities for tax purposes was $8,273,783,000, consisting of unrealized gains
of $8,310,065,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and
$36,282,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their
purchase.
Futures Contracts
: The fund invests a
portion of its cash reserves in equity markets through the use of index futures contracts.
After giving effect to futures investments, the funds effective common stock and
temporary cash investment positions represent 96.6% and 3.4%, respectively, of net assets.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices.
At April 30, 2008, the aggregate
settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in June 2008 and the related
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax
purposes.
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 funds 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).
In September 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 157 (FAS 157), Fair Value
Measurements. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements, effective for the
funds current fiscal period.
Various inputs may be used to
determine the value of the funds investments. These inputs are summarized in three
broad levels:
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 funds own assumptions used to
determine the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for
valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing
in those securities.
The following table sumamrizes the
inputs used to value the funds net assets as of April 30, 2008:

Investment Securities:
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 funds 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 funds net asset
value.
At April 30, 2008, the cost of
investment securities for tax purposes was $8,903,712,000. Net unrealized appreciation of
investment securities for tax purposes was $1,840,371,000, consisting of unrealized gains
of $2,174,421,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and
$334,050,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their
purchase.
In September 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 157 (FAS 157), Fair
Value Measurements. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements, effective for
the funds current fiscal period.
Various inputs may be used to
determine the value of the funds investments. These inputs are summarized in three
broad levels:
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 funds own assumptions used to
determine the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for
valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing
in those securities.
At April 30, 2008, 100% of the
funds investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

Investment Securities:
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. 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.
At April 30, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,194,624,000. Net unrealized appreciation of
investment securities for tax purposes was $207,761,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $239,385,000 on securities that had risen in
value since their purchase and $31,624,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 157 ("FAS 157),
"Fair Value Measurements." FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements, effective for the fund's current fiscal period.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund's investments. These inputs are summarized
in three broad levels:
Level 1--
quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2-- other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3-- significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
The following table sumamrizes the inputs used to value the fund's net assets as of April 30, 2008:

Investment Securities:
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 funds 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 funds net asset
value.
At April 30, 2008, the cost of
investment securities for tax purposes was $773,975,000. Net unrealized appreciation of
investment securities for tax purposes was $14,391,000, consisting of unrealized gains of
$51,239,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $36,848,000 in
unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
In September 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 157 (FAS 157), Fair
Value Measurements. FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements, effective for
the funds current fiscal period.
Various inputs may be used to
determine the value of the funds investments. These inputs are summarized in three
broad levels:
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 funds own assumptions used to
determine the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for
valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing
in those securities.
At April 30, 2008, 100% of the
funds investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.
Item 2:
|
