Represents the expense ratio for the Vanguard ETF as reported in most recent prospectus. There are material differences between mutual funds and ETFs. Unlike mutual funds,
ETFs are priced continuously and bought and sold throughout the day in the secondary market (at a premium or discount to net asset value) with the assistance of a stockbroker,
which entails paying commissions. Sources: Lipper Inc. and Vanguard, December 31, 2010.

Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). NR is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S.
Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under U.S. Government." Credit-quality ratings for each issue are obtained from Barclays Capital using
ratings derived from Moody's Investors Service, Fitch Ratings, and Standard & Poor's. When ratings from all three agencies are available, the median rating is used. When ratings
are available from two of the agencies, the lower rating is used. When one rating is available, that rating is used.
Vanguard ETF Shares are not redeemable with an Applicant Fund other than in Creation Unit aggregations. Instead, investors must buy or sell Vanguard ETF Shares in the secondary
market with the assistance of a stockbroker. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than
net asset value when selling.
All ETF products are subject to risk, which may result in the loss of principal. Investments in bond ETF products are subject to interest rate, credit, and inflation risk.
