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 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.

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 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).

1 At April 30, 2008, the security is still held but the issuer is no longer an affiliated company of the fund.
2 At January 31, 2008, the issuer was not an affiliated company of the fund.

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:

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 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.

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 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).

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:

* Non-income-producing security.
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 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.

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 fund’s 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:

S&P 500 Index 476  164,934  8,395 


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 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).

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.

REIT - Real Estate Investment Trust.

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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s 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 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.

At April 30, 2008, 100% of the fund’s 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 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.

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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s 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 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.

At April 30, 2008, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.
