A Note From Our Chairman
Tim Buckley
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Recent volatility in financial markets affecting stocks, bonds, and commodities has been a good reminder of the wise old adage, Never keep all your eggs in one basket. Maintaining balance and diversification in your investment portfolio can help to both limit risk and set you up for long-term success.
Its understandable why some investors might become complacent after a long market run-up like the one that lifted stock prices, especially U.S. stock prices, in the years following the global financial crisis. But failing to rebalance regularly can leave a portfolio with a much different mix of assets than intended and, often, more risk than intended.
Balance across and diversification within asset classes are powerful tools for managing risk and achieving your investment goals. A portfolios allocation will determine a large portion of its long-term return and also the majority of its volatility risk. A well-diversified portfolio is less vulnerable to significant swings in the performance of any one segment of the asset classes in which it invests.
Balance and diversification will never eliminate the risk of loss, nor will they guarantee positive returns in a declining market. But they should reduce the chance that youll suffer disproportionate losses in one particular high-flying asset class or sector when it comes back to earth. And exposure to all key market components should give you at least some participation in the sectors that are performing best at any given time.
Vanguard is committed to helping you achieve balance and diversification in your portfolios to help meet your investment goals. We thank you for your continued loyalty.
Sincerely, |
|
|
|
|

Your Funds Performance at a Glance
· For the 12 months ended August 31, 2019, Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund returned 2.36% for Investor Shares and 2.42% for Admiral Shares. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund returned 2.26% and Vanguard Treasury Fund returned 2.25% over the same period. All three funds surpassed the average returns of their peers.
· With Brexit and trade tensions adding to worries about slowing growth at home and abroad, the Federal Reserve pivoted from raising rates twice in the second half of 2018 to cutting them in August and September 2019 and scheduling an end to its balance sheet unwind.
· The funds low expense ratios continued to be a key support for delivering competitive returns, although the advisors primary focus is on principal preservation and liquidity. Risk mitigation for the U.S. government potentially defaulting on its debt was a headwind, but the advisors use of floating-rate notes and repurchase agreements helped.

Advisors Report
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2019, Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund returned 2.36% for Investor Shares and 2.42% for Admiral Shares. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund returned 2.26% and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund returned 2.25%. All three funds surpassed the average returns of their peers.
The investment environment
Macroeconomic sentiment deteriorated significantly over the 12 months. The U.S. economy initially looked to be in good shape even as prospects for the global economy dimmed. U.S. GDP clocked in at about 3.5% for the third quarter of 2018 on an annualized basis, well above trend. Inflation was picking up a little, the unemployment rate was at a multi-decade low, and wages finally showed some signs of acceleration. Solid corporate earnings, boosted by previous tax cuts, added to the optimistic mood.
The U.S. Federal Reserve, citing strong job gains and near-target inflation, raised short-term interest rates in September and again in early December, pushing the federal funds rate up to a range of 2.25%2.50%. Although still historically very low, that was the highest level in more than a decade.
Given the buoyant outlook, the bellwether U.S. 10-year Treasury note hit a high for the period of 3.24% in early November.
Toward the end of 2018, however, investors grew skittish about the prospect of further monetary tightening by the Fed, especially as the U.S. economy began to show signs of slowing growth. Additional concerns included a flare-up in the ongoing trade dispute with China, heightened tensions with Iran, and a lack of agreement in the United Kingdom on how to exit the European Union. Greater risk aversion led to a sell-off in stocks and lower-quality corporate bonds and a boost in demand for safer assets, including government bonds.
As the economic outlook flagged at home and abroad, a number of major central banks pivoted from a tightening to a loosening monetary policy bias. In March, the Fed announced that it would end its balance sheet tapering later in the year, and at the beginning of August it lowered the fed funds target range to 2.00%2.25%, the first cut in more than a decade. (It made a second cut just after the close of the period.)
That pivot, along with declining growth prospects and subdued inflation, contributed to Treasury yields falling, especially for intermediate-term securities. The result was an inversion in parts of the yield curve much of the time from late May through the end of the funds fiscal year. The yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note finished at 1.50%, below the yield of the 3-month Treasury bill, which ended at 1.98%.
Management of the funds
We manage the funds with an emphasis on safety and liquidity above all else, resulting in a bias toward high-quality assets. Our funds are nevertheless able to achieve
competitive returns over the long run because of the persistent advantage of their low operating costs compared with those of their peer groups.
During the fiscal year, some concern arose that the federal government might not vote to raise its borrowing limit in time to avert defaulting on its debt. The timing of when it might run out of money would depend on cash flows and tax receipts but looked like it might occur early this fall. Treasuries with the shortest maturities would be the most affected, as their principal repayment could be delayed.
Our view in the first part of 2019 was that rates might not fall as much as the market was pricing in, which made longer-dated Treasury notes attractive, but we passed on adding any maturing in September or October out of an abundance of caution.
Holding floating rate notes in all three funds added value. The yields they pay reset periodically, often monthly, to reflect prevailing interest rates. In a rising-rate environment, these securities can help a funds yield adjust upward more quickly than if it held only fixed-rate instruments. They can also perform well relative to fixed-rate notes if the market prices in a steeper rate drop than actually occurs, essentially allowing us not to lock in lower rates.
Treasury bills were attractively priced at the beginning of the period. Because we viewed that as a function of high supply and nothing systemic, we took it as a buying opportunity. That tactical move played out well when issuance slowed and demand rose as cash poured into money market funds in the first half of this year, resulting in compressed bill spreads.
In the Prime Money Market Fund, exposure to Canadian, Australian, and Northern European bank debt provided some international diversification.
The outlook
We anticipate a soft landing in the United States. Growth will probably continue slowing through the end of the year with less support from fiscal policy, a global growth slowdown, and ongoing trade disputes taking a toll on business confidence and capital spending. A full-blown trade war with China is not our base case scenario, but further tensions are likely regarding tariffs as well as non-tariff measures such as quantitative restrictions and currency exchange rates.
While we believe a recession is some time off, the U.S. labor market should cool as employment growth falls and structural factors such as technology and globalization continue to hold down inflationary pressures. Higher wages will probably not funnel through to higher consumer prices; in fact, inflation may weaken from current levels, which are near the Federal Reserves 2% target for the end of 2019.
The Fed has recently cut rates twice, and the deteriorating backdrop could prompt it to lower rates further. This may contribute to the Treasury yield curve returning to an upward slope.
Bouts of volatility related to inflation and interest rate expectations are likely. Other potential triggers include an intensification of trade disputes, flare-ups in geopolitical tensions, the United Kingdom making a disorderly exit from the European Union, and missteps by central banks.
Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, credit analysts, and traders will continue to seek out opportunities to produce competitive returns.

About Your Funds 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 funds gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A funds expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The accompanying table illustrates your funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 casebecause the return used is not the funds actual returnthe 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 funds costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a sales load.
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the funds expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your funds current prospectus.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds annualized six-month expense ratios for the period are: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.16% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.11%; and for the Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.09%. The dollar amounts shown as Expenses Paid are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (184/365).

Prime Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments of companies primarily operating in specific industries, particularly financial services; the issuers abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in such industries. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counter-partys default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the funds tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 20162019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (Vanguard) participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the funds regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the funds board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the funds Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
Prime Money Market Fund
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.
6. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds Service Agreement (the FSA) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguards cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $5,820,000, representing less than 0.01% of the funds net assets and 2.33% of Vanguards capital received pursuant to the FSA. The funds trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the funds investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the funds own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
At August 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the funds investments was determined using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
D. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets, if any, are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
Prime Money Market Fund
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral on wash sales and payables for distributions. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Federal Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such instruments.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterpartys default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the funds tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 20162019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (Vanguard) participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the funds regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the funds board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the funds Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
Federal Money Market Fund
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.
6. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds Service Agreement (the FSA) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguards cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $6,091,000, representing less than 0.01% of the funds net assets and 2.44% of Vanguards capital received pursuant to the FSA. The funds trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the funds investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the funds own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
At August 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the funds investments was determined using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
D. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets, if any, are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.
Federal Money Market Fund
The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral on wash sales and payables for distributions. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Treasury Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the funds tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 20162019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
4. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (Vanguard) participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the funds regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the funds board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the funds Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.
5. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds Service Agreement (the FSA) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguards cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally settled twice a month.
Treasury Money Market Fund
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,310,000, representing less than 0.01% of the funds net assets and 0.52% of Vanguards capital received pursuant to the FSA. The funds trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the funds investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the funds own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
At August 31, 2019, 100% of the market value of the funds investments was determined using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
D. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets, if any, are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral on wash sales and payables for distributions. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Boards of Trustees of Vanguard Money Market Reserves and Vanguard Admiral Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund and Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund (constituting Vanguard Money Market Reserves) and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Admiral Funds) (hereafter collectively referred to as the Funds) as of August 31, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2019, 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 ended August 31, 2019 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements
The board of trustees of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund, and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund has renewed each funds investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard), through its Fixed Income Group. The board determined that continuing each funds internalized management structure was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisors investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguards Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. The Portfolio Review Department met regularly with the advisor and made monthly presentations to the board during the fiscal year that directed the boards focus to relevant information and topics.
The board, or an investment committee made up of board members, also received information throughout the year through advisor presentations. For each advisor presentation, the board was provided with letters and reports that included information about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisors assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.
In addition, the board received monthly reports, which included a Market and Economic Report, a Fund Dashboard Monthly Summary, and a Fund Performance Report.
Prior to their meeting, the trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they received over the course of the year. They also considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangements. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the boards decision.
Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board reviewed the quality of each funds investment management services over both the short and long term and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board considered that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than four decades. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.
The board concluded that Vanguards experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of each advisory arrangement.
Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of each fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance compared with a relevant benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that each advisory arrangement should continue.
Cost
The board concluded that each funds expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that each funds advisory expenses were also well below the peer-group average.
The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguards unique structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees.
The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that each funds arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.
The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangements again after a one-year period.

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 funds 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.
A majority of Vanguards board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 212 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.

THE VANGUARD FUNDS
CODE OF ETHICS FOR
SENIOR EXECUTIVE AND FINANCIAL OFFICERS
I. Introduction
The Board of Trustees (the Fund Board) of each registered investment company that is managed, sponsored, and distributed by The Vanguard Group, Inc. (VGI) or its subsidiaries (each, a Vanguard Fund and collectively, the Vanguard Funds) has adopted this code of ethics (the Code) as required by Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Code applies to the individuals in positions listed on Exhibit A (the Covered Officers). All Covered Officers, along with employees of VGI, are subject to separate and distinct obligations from this Code under a Code of Ethics adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17j-1 Code of Ethics), policies to prevent the misuse of non-public information, and other internal compliance guidelines and policies that may be in effect from time to time.
This Code is designed to promote:
· Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of conflicts of interest;
· Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a Vanguard Fund files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in other public communications made by the Vanguard Funds or VGI;
· Compliance with applicable laws, governmental rules, and regulations;
· Prompt internal reporting to those identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and
· Accountability for adherence to the Code.
II. Actual or Apparent Conflicts of Interest
A. Covered Officers should conduct all activities in accordance with the following principles:
1. Clients interests come first. In the course of fulfilling their duties and responsibilities to VGI clients, Covered Officers must at all times place the interests of VGI clients first. In particular, Covered Officers must avoid serving their own personal interests ahead of the interests of VGI clients.
2. Conflicts of interest must be avoided. Covered Officers must avoid any situation involving an actual or potential conflict of interest or possible impropriety with respect to their duties and responsibilities to VGI clients. Covered Officers must disclose and report at least annually any situation that may present the potential for a conflict of interest to Vanguards Compliance Department, consistent with the 17j-1 Code of Ethics.
3. Compromising situations must be avoided. Covered Officers must not take advantage of their position of trust and responsibility. Covered Officers must avoid any situation that might compromise or call into question their exercise of full independent judgment in the best interests of VGI clients.
All activities of Covered Officers should be guided by and adhere to these fiduciary standards regardless of whether the activity is specifically described in this Code.
B. Restricted Activities include the following:
1. Prohibition on secondary employment. Covered Officers are prohibited from accepting or serving in any form of secondary employment. Secondary employment that does not create a potential conflict of interest may be approved by the General Counsel of VGI.
2. Prohibition on service as director or public official. Unless approved by the General Counsel of VGI, Covered Officers are prohibited from serving on the board of directors of any publicly traded company or in an official capacity for any federal, state, or local government (or governmental agency or instrumentality).
3. Prohibition on misuse of Vanguard time or property. Covered Officers are prohibited from making use of time, equipment, services, personnel or property of any Vanguard entity for any purposes other than the performance of their duties and responsibilities in connection with the Vanguard Funds or other Vanguard-related entities.
III. Disclosure and Compliance
A. Each Covered Officer should be familiar with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Vanguard Funds.
B. Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Vanguard Funds to others, including to the Vanguard Funds directors and auditors, or to government regulators and self-regulatory organizations.
C. Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within the Covered Officers area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of VGI and advisors to a Vanguard Fund with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Vanguard Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by a Vanguard Fund.
D. It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules, regulations, and the 17j-1 Code of Ethics.
IV. Reporting and Accountability
A. Each Covered Officer must:
1. Upon adoption or amendment of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;
2. Affirm at least annually in writing that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code;
3. Not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of VGI for reports of potential violations of the Code that are made in good faith; and
4. Notify the General Counsel of VGI promptly if the Covered Officer knows of any violations of this Code.
B. The Vanguard Funds will use the following procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:
1. The General Counsel of VGI is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The General Counsel will report on an as-needed basis to the Fund Board regarding activities subject to the Code.
2. The General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations of the Code that are reported to him or her.
3. If, after investigation, the General Counsel believes that no material violation of the Code has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action.
4. Any matter that the General Counsel believes is a material violation of the Code will be reported to the Chief Compliance Officer and the Fund Board.
5. If the Fund Board concurs that a material violation of the Code has occurred, the Fund Board will consider appropriate action. Appropriate action may include reassignment, suspension, or dismissal of the applicable Covered Officer(s), or any other sanctions the Fund Board deems appropriate. Appropriate action may also include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures.
6. Any changes to or waiver of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.
Other Policies and Procedures
This Code shall be the sole code of conduct adopted by the Vanguard Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Vanguard Funds, VGI, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code.
VGIs and the Vanguard Funds 17j-1 Code of Ethics, policies to prevent the misuse of non-public information, and other internal compliance guidelines and policies that may be in effect from time to time are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.
VI. Amendments
This Code may not be materially amended except by the approval of a majority vote of the independent trustees of the Fund Board. Non-material, technical, and administrative revisions of the Code do not have to be approved by the Fund Board. Amendments must be in writing and communicated promptly to the Covered Officers, who shall affirm receipt of the amended Code in accordance with Section IV. A. 1.
VII. Confidentiality
All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code shall be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Fund Board, VGIs General Counsel and the Chief Compliance Officer of VGI and the Vanguard Funds.
