Chairman’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

The galloping bull market that characterized international stocks in recent years came to a halt during the past six months. After peaking in October 2007, European, Pacific, and emerging-market stocks—and therefore each of the Vanguard International Stock Index Funds—experienced double-digit declines during the first five months of the funds’ fiscal year.

Despite a sharp snapback in April, the funds’ returns for the fiscal half-year ranged from –9.6% to –11.3%. (All returns are for Investor Shares.)

Financial issues, inflation, growth worried the world’s markets

A variety of concerns hovered over the global markets during the six months. The U.S. was at the epicenter of the troubles, which included the fallout from a deflating boom in housing prices, related stresses on financial institutions, and an ensuing credit crunch that affected both large and small businesses.

At the same time, threats of inflation and slower global growth were also in the air. Prices for commodities, from food to oil, continued to surge. Whether the U.S. economy—the world’s largest—was entering a period of slow growth or an actual recession was being debated as the period drew to a close.

Bonds led stocks as yields fell; central banks pumped in liquidity

October was a month of record highs, as U.S. stocks (measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index) peaked on October 9 and international stocks (measured by the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA) on October 31. From those high points, they began sliding. For the period, U.S. stocks returned –9.9%, and international stocks, –9.1%. Large-cap stocks outpaced small-caps, while growth stocks outperformed their value-oriented counterparts, although both posted negative returns for the six-month span.

Bonds fared better. As yields declined and prices rose, the broad taxable bond market returned 4.1% for the six months. Tax-exempt municipal bonds posted a lackluster return of 1.5%, as investors favored higher-quality U.S. Treasury bonds.

In an effort to help the troubled credit market, the Federal Reserve Board cut its target for the federal funds rate five times during the half-year and, in concert with other nations’ central banks, took aggressive steps to provide liquidity to the financial markets. At the end of April, the Fed lowered the target for the seventh time since last summer, to 2.0%—the lowest level since December 2004.

Stocks generally declined; lower dollar helped returns

Vanguard’s European Stock Index Fund and Pacific Stock Index Fund posted similar returns during the fiscal half-year

(–9.8% and –9.6%, respectively), outperforming the average returns of their peers (–11.1% and –11.7%, respectively). The Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund posted the lowest return of the international stock funds: –11.3%, compared with an average –10.7% for competitors. The generally declining dollar helped cushion the funds’ returns because of the favorable currency effect when local-currency returns are translated into U.S.-dollar returns.

The European fund’s holdings in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany—its largest concentration of assets—were the major detractors from return. As the U.S.-bred credit crisis washed ashore, the

1 Fund expense ratios reflect the six months ended April 30, 2008. Peer groups are: for the European Stock Index Fund, the Average European Region Fund; for the Pacific Stock Index Fund, the Average Japan/Pacific Region Fund; for the Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, the Average Emerging Markets Fund; for the other funds, the Average International Fund. Peer-group expense ratios are derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and capture information through year-end 2007.

2 This figure represents a weighted average of the annualized expense ratios and any fees charged by the underlying mutual funds in which the fund invests. The fund does not have any expenses or fees of its own. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another fund.

financials sector was hardest hit, followed by consumer discretionary and telecommunication services. Bright spots included the metals and mining and chemicals subsectors and, to a lesser extent, energy.

Stocks in Japan, Australia, and Hong Kong, which accounted for the lion’s share of Pacific Stock Index Fund’s assets, declined in all sectors except utilities, which contributed only a tiny positive return. The financials and industrials sectors were the weakest performers. In Japan, the most significant detractor was Toyota Motor Corp., a consumer discretionary sector stock and the country’s largest by market value.

In the Emerging Markets Stock Index portfolio, positive returns from Brazilian stocks, the fund’s largest single market exposure, weren’t enough to offset negative contributions from other regions, especially Asia/Pacific. The largest country declines came from China, India, and South Korea. Every sector declined except for health care, the smallest. The financials sector, including stocks in India, Russia, and China, and the industrials sector were the major detractors.

The Total International Stock Index Fund, Developed Markets Index Fund, and Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund are “funds of funds” that hold shares of other Vanguard index funds. Their six-month results reflect the proportion of fund assets invested in each of the underlying funds. The Total International Stock Index Fund, which provides market-weighted exposure to European, Pacific, and emerging market stocks, returned –10.1%, slightly above the average –10.5% return of its peers.

The Developed Markets Index Fund and the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund (which is available for a minimum initial investment of $5 million) invest only in the European and Pacific markets. Both returned –9.7% for the period, besting the –10.5% average return of their peers.

Each of the International Stock Index Funds succeeded in tracking its benchmark, a tribute to the portfolio construction and management skills of Vanguard’s Quantitative Equity Group.

Discrepancies between the returns of the funds and the indexes they track reflect two things. Unlike indexes, funds incur real-world operating and transaction costs, which are subtracted from returns. Also, the funds face the ephemeral impact of fair-value pricing, an accounting convention produced by differences between the closing times of international and U.S. stock markets. The adjustment is fleeting and corrects itself when market prices reflect fair value, typically the next day. In fact, fair-value pricing accounted for the entire shortfall in each of the funds except the Emerging Markets Fund, where it still accounted for most of the shortfall.

Prepare for risk by designing a balanced and diversified portfolio

The track record of international investing shows that exposure to world stock markets can be rewarding. But, as the past six months remind us, risk comes along for the ride.

Anyone can try to predict the future course of the markets, but they are full of surprises, and no prediction is assured to be right. That is why we urge investors to keep risk, not just return, foremost in mind. You can put this idea into action with a portfolio that’s balanced among asset classes—stocks (domestic and international), bonds, and cash reserves—and broadly diversified within each asset class. A balanced and diversified portfolio can help prepare you for whatever the markets may bring.

As I close this report to you, it’s my pleasure to introduce the fund’s new president, F. William McNabb III. Bill is a man of great character and integrity who is intimately familiar with all aspects of Vanguard—from how we serve our clients to how we invest for our clients.

Bill and I have worked together very closely for more than two decades. I’m thrilled that the fund’s board elected him president, effective March 1, and designated him to succeed me as chief executive officer, a role he will assume within a year, after an orderly transition. Bill and the rest of our team will serve you and our other clients extremely well in the years ahead.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,

 


 

John J. Brennan

On June 4, 2008, Vanguard Emerging Markets Index Fund declared a two-for-one stock split of its ETF Shares. The conventional shares of the fund were not affected by the split.

 

The share split for each fund entitled shareholders of record at the close of business on June 13 to receive one additional share for every share of the ETF held on that date. The additional shares were distributed to shareholders on June 17. Shares began trading at the new split adjusted price beginning June 18.

European Stock Index Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard European Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard International Equity Index Funds. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers five classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, tenure, and account-size criteria. Signal Shares are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

 

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

 

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

 

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars 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).

 

3. Futures and Forward Currency Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks

 

28

European Stock Index Fund

 

associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

 

The fund also may enter into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to any open futures contracts. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.

 

Futures and forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets . Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts.

 

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2004–2007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

6. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

 

7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on redemptions of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

 

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

 

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At April 30, 2008, the fund had contributed capital of $2,924,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.92% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are

 

29

European Stock Index Fund

 

recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $105,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

 

Certain of the fund’s investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $291,000, which have been included in current and prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation through October 31, 2007, on passive foreign investment company holdings at April 30, 2008, was $18,975,000, all of which has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income.

 

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had available realized losses of $13,739,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2011. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending October 31, 2008; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized $110,725,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

 

At April 30, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $28,772,217,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $9,045,485,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $9,837,558,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $792,073,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

At April 30, 2008, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in June 2008 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

D. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund purchased $4,205,337,000 of investment securities and sold $2,215,204,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

 

E. The market value of securities on loan to broker-dealers at April 30, 2008, was $2,108,600,000, for which the fund received cash collateral of $2,207,834,000.

Pacific Stock Index Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard International Equity Index Funds. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers five classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, tenure, and account-size criteria. Signal Shares are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

 

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

 

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

 

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars 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).

 

3. Futures and Forward Currency Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund

 

50

Pacific Stock Index Fund

 

may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

 

The fund also may enter into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to any open futures contracts. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.

 

Futures and forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets . Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts.

 

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2004–2007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

6. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

 

7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on redemptions of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

 

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

 

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At April 30, 2008, the fund had contributed capital of $1,327,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.33% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $2,469,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to overdistributed net investment income.

 

Certain of the fund’s investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $6,655,000, which have been included in current and prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to overdistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation through October 31, 2007, on passive foreign investment company holdings at April 30, 2008, was $183,858,000, all of which has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of overdistributed net investment income.

 

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had available realized losses of $79,725,000 to offset future net capital gains of $1,920,000 through October 31, 2009, $68,660,000 through October 31, 2010, $4,471,000 through October 31, 2011, and $4,674,000 through October 31, 2013. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending October 31, 2008; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balances above.

 

At April 30, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $14,266,845,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,525,818,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $3,181,561,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $655,743,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

 

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.

 

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars 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).

 

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 fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2004–2007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

 

80

Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund

 

5. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

 

6. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on capital share transactions are credited to paid-in capital.

 

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

 

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At April 30, 2008, the fund had contributed capital of $2,022,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.02% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $2,106,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. The fund’s realized losses for the six months ended April 30, 2008, include taxes paid on realized capital gains on Indian securities of $1,000, which are treated as decreases to taxable income; accordingly these amounts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund

 

Certain of the fund’s investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $1,481,000, which have been included in current and prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation through October 31, 2007, on passive foreign investment company holdings at April 30, 2008, was $39,421,000, all of which has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income.

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized $19,714,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

 

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had available realized losses of $182,474,000 to offset future net capital gains of $15,143,000 through October 31, 2012, and $167,331,000 through October 31, 2014.

 

At April 30, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $17,391,380,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $8,989,608,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $9,651,964,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $662,356,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

D. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund purchased $5,127,358,000 of investment securities and sold $1,794,781,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

 

E. The market value of securities on loan to broker-dealers at April 30, 2008, was $462,621,000, for which the fund received cash collateral of $493,493,000.

 

F. On June 4, 2008, the fund declared a 2-for-1 split of its ETF shares, to shareholders of record on June 13, 2008.

Total International Stock Index Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard STAR ® Funds. The fund seeks to match the performance of its target index by investing in the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds. The fund’s indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.

 

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

 

1. Security Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date.

 

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2004–2007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

 

B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that Vanguard will reimburse the fund’s expenses to the extent of savings in administrative and marketing costs realized by Vanguard in the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all expenses incurred by the fund during the six months ended April 30, 2008, were reimbursed by Vanguard. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard, and the funds in which the fund invests.

 

C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had available realized losses of $48,186,000 to offset future net capital gains of $4,316,000 through October 31, 2009, and $43,870,000 through October 31, 2010. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending October 31, 2008; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balances above.

Total International Stock Index Fund

 

At April 30, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $20,989,513,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,830,348,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

 

D. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund purchased $3,339,201,000 of investment securities and sold $520,664,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Performance Summary

 

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Developed Markets Index Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard STAR Funds. The fund seeks to match the performance of its target index by investing in the European and Pacific Stock Index Funds. The fund’s indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.

 

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

 

1. Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date.

 

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2004–2007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

 

B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that Vanguard will reimburse the fund’s expenses to the extent of savings in administrative and marketing costs realized by Vanguard in the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all expenses incurred by the fund during the six months ended April 30, 2008, were reimbursed by Vanguard. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard, and the funds in which the fund invests.

 

C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

 

At April 30, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,956,554,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $964,913,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

 

D. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund purchased $550,904,000 of investment securities and sold $116,871,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard STAR Funds. The fund seeks to match the performance of its target index by investing in the European and Pacific Stock Index Funds. The fund’s indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.

 

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

 

1. Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date.

 

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2004–2007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

 

B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that Vanguard will reimburse the fund’s expenses to the extent of savings in administrative and marketing costs realized by Vanguard in the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all expenses incurred by the fund during the six months ended April 30, 2008, were reimbursed by Vanguard. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard, and the funds in which the fund invests.

 

C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had available realized losses of $8,167,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2011. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending October 31, 2008; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

 

At April 30, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,833,963,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $901,182,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

D. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund purchased $751,785,000 of investment securities and sold $498,689,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

 

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.

 

A typical fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. “Funds of funds,” such as the Developed Markets Index Fund, Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund, and Total International Stock Index Fund, have no direct expenses, but each fund bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the fund’s acquired fund fees and expenses, also expressed as a percentage of average net assets.

 

The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period. The costs are calculated using each fund’s acquired fund fees and expenses.

 

The tables on pages 109–110 illustrate 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 the transaction fees or the account service fee described in the 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.

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period, except for the three “funds of funds,” for which calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal period of each underlying fund. Annualized six-month expense ratios for the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets funds are as follows: European Stock Index Fund—0.20% for Investor Shares, 0.11% for Admiral Shares, 0.11% for Signal Shares, 0.09% for Institutional Shares, and 0.11% for ETF Shares; Pacific Stock Index Fund—0.20% for Investor Shares, 0.11% for Admiral Shares, 0.11% for Signal Shares, 0.09% for Institutional Shares, and 0.11% for ETF Shares; Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund—0.33% for Investor Shares, 0.21% for Admiral Shares, 0.21% for Signal Shares, 0.16% for Institutional Shares, and 0.21% for ETF Shares. The other funds’ annualized acquired fund fees and expenses as of April 30, 2008, were (in top-to-bottom order as listed above) 0.24%, 0.20%, and 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.

2 Calculations do not reflect the fund’s 0.5% purchase fee, which is deducted from all purchases (including exchanges from other Vanguard funds) but not from reinvested dividends and capital gains.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

 

The board of trustees of Vanguard International Stock Index Funds has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Quantitative Equity Group—serves as the investment advisor for the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds. The Total International Stock Index Fund, Developed Markets Index Fund, and Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund do not employ an investment advisor but benefit from the investment advisory services provided to the underlying funds in which they invest. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.

 

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. The trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

 

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board considered the quality of the funds’ investment management over both short- and long-term periods and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than two decades. George U. Sauter, Vanguard managing director and chief investment officer, has been in the investment management business since 1985. Vanguard adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the portfolio management team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

 

The board concluded that Vanguard’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.

 

Investment performance

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of each fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of its target index and peer group. The board concluded that the funds have performed in line with expectations and that their results have been consistent with their investment strategies. Information about the funds’ most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.

 

Cost

The board concluded that the advisory expenses and the overall expense ratios for the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds were far below the average advisory fees and expense ratios charged by funds in their respective peer groups. As previously noted, the other funds do not incur advisory expenses directly. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections.

 

The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.

 

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that Vanguard’s low-cost arrangement with the International Stock Index Funds 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 arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary

 

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Funds that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but they do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds, and they must pay any fees charged by those funds. The figure for acquired fund fees and expenses represents a weighted average of these underlying costs. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another fund.

 

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

 

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

 

Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.

 

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

 

R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.

 

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

 

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

The People Who Govern Your Fund

 

The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.

 

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals.

 

Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.

 

Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.

Chairman’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

Fallout from the U.S. credit crisis spread globally over the past six months, creating high levels of volatility and a decline in returns for international markets. The FTSE All-World ex US Index, a measure of global stock market performance outside U.S. borders, returned –8.9%. Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund returned about 1 percentage point less.

This relative difference can be attributed mostly to fair-value pricing at the end of April—an accounting practice used to account for changes in the value of international securities that occur after the close of international markets, but before the close of U.S. markets. Discrepancies between the returns for the fund and the index typically resolve themselves the next day, when the international markets reopen.

The past few months have been a difficult time in international markets; the Pacific, European, and most of the emerging-market economies posted negative returns for the six-month period. Only the emerging-market economies of Latin America recorded positive returns for the index.

Financial issues, inflation, growth worried the world’s markets

A variety of concerns hovered over the global markets during the six months. The U.S. was at the epicenter of the troubles, which included the fallout from a deflating boom in housing prices, related stresses

on financial institutions, and an ensuing credit crunch that affected both large and small businesses.

At the same time, threats of inflation and slower global growth were also in the air. Prices for commodities, from food to oil, continued to surge. Whether the U.S. economy—the world’s largest—was entering a period of slow growth or an actual recession was being debated as the period drew to a close.

Bonds led stocks as yields fell; central banks pumped in liquidity

October was a month of record highs, as U.S. stocks (measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index) peaked on October 9 and international stocks (measured by the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA) peaked on October 31. From those high points, they began sliding. For the period, U.S. stocks returned –9.9%, international stocks, –9.1%. Large-cap stocks outpaced small-caps, while growth stocks generally outperformed their value-oriented counterparts, although both posted negative returns for the six-month span.

Bonds fared better. As yields declined and prices rose, the broad taxable bond market returned 4.1% for the six months. Tax-exempt municipal bonds posted a lackluster return of 1.5%, as investors favored higher-quality U.S. Treasury bonds.

In an effort to help the troubled credit market, the Federal Reserve Board cut its target for the federal funds rate five times during the half-year and, in concert

with other nations’ central banks, took aggressive steps to provide liquidity to the financial markets. At the end of April, the Fed lowered the target for the seventh time since last summer, to 2.0%—the lowest level since December 2004.

International returns were hurt by the credit crisis

During a tough six-month period in global stock markets, most of the sectors and regions represented by Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund declined in value.

Like their U.S. counterparts, financial stocks—which accounted for more than 25% of the index at the end of the period—were hit hard by the global credit crisis. These holdings caused the most significant loss for the index.

 

Institutions in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Australia were among the hardest hit, including HBOS, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, and National Australia Bank. Japanese financials, however, were up for the period, helping to soften the blow.

In the consumer discretionary sector, automobile manufacturers were slammed by a decrease in sales in the United States. Daimler, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan were all down for the six-month period. The French company Renault, which owns a large stake in Nissan, fell significantly. International hotels, restaurants, and retail stores also suffered, partly because of a decline in U.S. tourism.

Industrial stocks also weighed on performance. The index’s substantial holding in Siemens, a German engineering company, hurt returns. The company’s stock fell –12% over the period, owing to a slowdown in its power generation and transportation segments.

Among the few bright spots were Latin America’s emerging markets, the index’s top contributors, particularly Brazil. Latin America’s largest energy company, Petrobras, played a big part in Brazil’s success. Also boosting the country’s performance were Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, a major iron-ore producer, and Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional, one of the country’s largest steel-makers.

A diverse, long-term prospective is key during turbulent times

The past several months have been hard for investors as they watched the turmoil in the U.S. markets spread around the world. Volatile times like these are a good reminder of why Vanguard urges shareholders to maintain a well-balanced and broadly diversified portfolio.

A portfolio that includes not only domestic and international stocks but also bonds and short-term reserves can help provide protection against the stock market’s occasionally jarring volatility, while allowing you to participate in equities’ long-term growth potential. Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund can play a valuable role in such a portfolio, providing broad-based exposure to stock markets outside the United States.

As I close this report to you, it’s my pleasure to introduce the fund’s new president, F. William McNabb III. Bill is a man of great character and integrity who is intimately familiar with all aspects of Vanguard—from how we serve our clients to how we invest for our clients.

Bill and I have worked together very closely for more than two decades. I’m thrilled that the fund’s board elected him president, effective March 1, and designated him to succeed me as chief executive officer, a role he will assume within a year, after an orderly transition. Bill and the rest of our team will serve you and our other clients extremely well in the years ahead.

Thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,

 


 

John J. Brennan

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard International Equity Index Funds. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers three classes of shares: Investor Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

 

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

 

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.

 

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars 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).

 

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 fund’s tax position taken on its federal income tax return for the period from inception to October 31, 2007, and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

5. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market

Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

43

6. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on capital share transactions are credited to paid-in capital.

 

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

 

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At April 30, 2008, the fund had contributed capital of $192,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.19% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

C. The fund’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $40,000.

 

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had available realized losses of $1,431,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2015. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending October 31, 2008; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $19,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Certain of the fund’s investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $51,000, which have been included in current and

prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation through October 31, 2007, on passive foreign investment company holdings at April 30, 2008, was $1,299,000, all of which has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income.

 

At April 30, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,675,774,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $21,550,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $134,532,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $156,082,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

E. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, the fund purchased $1,322,485,000 of investment securities and sold $103,729,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

 

F. The market value of securities on loan to broker-dealers at April 30, 2008, was $149,223,000, for which the fund received cash collateral of $155,363,000.

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 table below 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.

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.36% for Investor Shares, 0.11% for Institutional Shares, and 0.21% for ETF Shares. 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.

 

46

Note that the expenses shown in the table on page 46 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 the account 0.25% transaction fee on purchases or the 2% fee on redemptions of shares held for less than two months, nor do they include the account service fee described in the prospectus. If such a fee 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

 

The board of trustees of Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund has renewed the fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Quantitative Equity Group—serves as the investment advisor for the fund. The board determined that continuing the fund’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

 

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. The trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

 

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board considered the quality of the fund’s investment management since its inception in March 2007, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than two decades. George U. Sauter, Vanguard managing director and chief investment officer, has been in the investment management business since 1985, and has led the Quantitative Equity Group since 1987. Duane F. Kelly, the Vanguard principal responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund, has been with Vanguard since 1989. The Quantitative Equity Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

 

The board concluded that Vanguard’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.

 

Investment performance

The board considered the fund’s performance since inception, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of its target index and peer group. The board concluded that the fund has performed in line with expectations and that its results have been consistent with its investment strategy. Information about the fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary section of this report.

 

Cost

The board concluded that the fund’s expense ratio was far below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group. The board noted that the fund’s advisory expense ratio is also well below its peer-group average. Information about the fund’s expense ratio appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements section.

 

The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.

 

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that the fund’s low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the fund will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

 

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary

 

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

 

Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.

 

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

 

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

 

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

The People Who Govern Your Fund

 

The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.

 

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals.

 

Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.

 

Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.
