Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
For the 12 months ended November 30, 2020, Vanguard Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund returned 6.03%, exceeding the 5.13% return of its benchmark index.
The period was marked by the global spread of COVID-19 and efforts to contain it, including government-mandated lockdowns, the shuttering of nonessential businesses, and social distancing measures. While volatility in the bond markets initially spiked and liquidity eroded as the pandemic spread, central banks around the world slashed interest rates and enacted stimulus programs to blunt the impact on the economy. Bond yields were lower by the end of the period, and prices were higher.
Demand for Massachusetts bonds steeply declined in March and April but rebounded sharply as the supply evaporated.
Our disciplined approach to risk management paid off in this challenging environment. The fund was fairly conservatively positioned going into 2020 because municipal bond yields were only slightly higher than U.S. Treasury yields. That allowed our portfolio management team to increase exposure to lower-quality investment-grade munis that were hit especially hard during the dramatic repricing that occurred in late winter and early spring. This strategy proved effective when those securities rebounded.
For the decade ended November 30, 2020, the fund recorded an average annual return of 4.58%, a bit ahead of the 4.15% return of its expense-free benchmark.

Advisor’s Report
For the 12 months ended November 30, 2020, Vanguard Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund returned 6.03%. The fund outpaced its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Massachusetts Municipal Bond Index, which returned 5.13%.
Both price appreciation and interest income made solid contributions to results. The fund’s capital return was 3.38% and its return from interest income was 2.65%. Because bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, its 30-day SEC yield fell to 1.39% from 1.88% a year earlier (and from 1.95% six months earlier).
Please note that the fund is permitted to invest in bonds whose income is subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT).
However, as of the end of the period, it did not own any such bonds.
The investment environment
The period was defined by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in early 2020––and the aggressive efforts to contain it––which upended economies and financial markets worldwide. As the pandemic spread, crude oil prices sank, trade and travel restrictions multiplied, nonessential businesses were shuttered, and unemployment spiked.

In the United States, Congress passed a number of bills providing aid to state and local governments, companies, and workers. The Federal Reserve cut the federal funds target range to near zero and began buying hundreds of billions of dollars in government bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate bonds.
Massachusetts’ economy shrank more quickly than that of the United States as a whole, according to a gauge of current economic conditions published monthly by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. The bank’s index for Massachusetts decreased 13.2% between November 2019 and October 2020, while the national index slid 4.5%. (Each state’s index incorporates data on nonfarm payroll employment, the jobless rate, average hours worked in manufacturing, and inflation-adjusted wage and salary payments.)
In December 2020, Governor Charlie Baker signed off on a $45.9 billion budget for fiscal year 2021. The budget makes use of one-time measures but does not account for any additional federal stimulus, and it includes authorization to withdraw up to $1.7 billion from the rainy day fund to close an estimated $3.6 billion shortfall because of anticipated lower tax collections.
The commonwealth’s credit ratings remained mostly unchanged. General obligation creditworthiness during the fiscal year was rated Aa1 with a stable outlook by Moody’s, AA+ with a stable outlook by Fitch, and AA with a stable
outlook by Standard & Poor’s. S& P downgraded special obligation bonds from A to BBB+.
Overall, the outlook for Massachusetts is expected to remain stable in the short term thanks to its large economy, high income levels, decent reserves, and willingness to close budget gaps. Ratings pressures will intensify if the rebound doesn’t start beyond fiscal year 2021.
Management of the fund
Our disciplined approach to credit risk paid off in this challenging environment. Going into 2020, we were carrying a relatively low level of credit risk in the funds because we viewed valuations as being relatively expensive compared with historical levels.
We obviously didn’t see the coronavirus pandemic coming, but our more defensive positioning helped mitigate the impact of the market sell-off in March and April then allowed us to take on more credit risk at much more attractive valuations, especially in areas where the repricing seemed overdone. That wasn’t the case for some asset managers who were carrying more risk ahead of the pandemic, chasing a few extra basis points of potential return despite valuations being elevated.
Because credit underperformed over the 12-month period, the tilt in the fund toward high-quality securities added value, particularly during the market sell-off. With muni yields ending the period lower, the fund’s longer duration than that of its benchmark also helped

relative performance. (Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of the fund’s holdings to movements in interest rates.)
Outlook
Risks remain that increases in COVID-19 infections could lead to the reimposition of broad lockdowns that would further hurt economies and that the distribution of vaccines may take longer than hoped for. These risks are somewhat mitigated, however, because governments are now better prepared to deal with outbreaks. Moreover, central banks have asserted their readiness to continue to support bond markets.
We continue to view munis as attractive for long-term investors because defaults are unlikely to materialize among investment-grade munis as issuers will be buttressed by reserves, federal aid, and other fiscal levers, and the overarching trend of the next 12 to 24 months should be toward tighter spreads. But importantly, the road to an economic recovery is likely to be bumpy and long. That’s likely to translate into periods of turbulence to the muni market in the year ahead, which is why a focus on diversification, deep research, and discipline will be key to potential investment success.
Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts will continue to navigate this large, fragmented market to seek attractive investment opportunities that will add to the funds’ performance.

About Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The ”Ending Account Value“ shown is derived from the fund‘s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“
Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.13%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (183/366).

Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in debt instruments of municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state. Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds. The insurance does not guarantee the market value of the municipal bonds. Market disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have had a global impact, and uncertainty exists as to the long-term implications. Such disruptions can adversely affect assets of the fund and thus fund performance.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Bonds and temporary cash investments are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on future contracts.
During the year ended November 30, 2020, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally
35

Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund
three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s 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 at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: 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 and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (or an acceptable alternate rate, if necessary), federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread, except that borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended November 30, 2020, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
6. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities, except for premiums on certain callable debt securities that are amortized to the earliest call 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. 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,
36

Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund
administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees 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 November 30, 2020, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $104,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.04% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund (the “Fund”) as of November 30, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended November 30, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended November 30, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2020 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 opinion.

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.
A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 211 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. That information, as well as the Vanguard fund count, is as of the date on the cover of this fund report. 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 Vanguard’s 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 Officer’s 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.

 

VGI’s 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, VGI’s General Counsel and the Chief Compliance Officer of VGI and the Vanguard Funds.
