Chairmans 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 stocksand therefore each of the Vanguard International Stock Index Fundsexperienced 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 worlds 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. economythe worlds largestwas 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
Vanguards 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 funds holdings in the United Kingdom, France, and Germanyits largest concentration of assetswere 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 lions share of Pacific Stock Index Funds 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 countrys largest by market value.
In the Emerging Markets Stock Index portfolio, positive returns from Brazilian stocks, the funds largest single market exposure, werent 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 Vanguards 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 thats balanced among asset classesstocks (domestic and international), bonds, and cash reservesand 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, its my pleasure to introduce the funds new president, F. William McNabb III. Bill is a man of great character and integrity who is intimately familiar with all aspects of Vanguardfrom 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. Im thrilled that the funds 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
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 20042007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds 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 funds net assets and 2.92% of Vanguards capitalization. The funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 redemptionsin 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 20042007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds 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 funds net assets and 1.33% of Vanguards capitalization. The funds 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 funds 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 funds 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.

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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 20042007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds 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 funds net assets and 2.02% of Vanguards capitalization. The funds 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 funds 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.
81
Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund
Certain of the funds 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 redemptionsin 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 20042007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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.

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 funds 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 funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 20042007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 20042007) and for the period ended April 30, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds 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.

About Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a funds gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A typical funds 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 funds 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 funds acquired fund fees and expenses.
The tables on pages 109110 illustrate your funds costs in two ways:
Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The Ending Account Value shown is derived from the funds actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading Expenses Paid During Period.
Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your funds costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this casebecause the return used is not the funds actual returnthe results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your funds costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include 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 funds expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your funds current prospectus.

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 Fund0.20% 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 Fund0.20% 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 Fund0.33% 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 funds 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. Vanguardthrough its Quantitative Equity Groupserves 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 advisors 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 boards 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 Vanguards 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 Funds 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 Vanguards 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 Vanguards 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a funds 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 funds 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 funds past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a funds total returns were precisely synchronized with an indexs returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the funds returns bore no relationship to the indexs 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 funds 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 funds trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.
A majority of Vanguards board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals.
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.

Chairmans Letter
Dear Shareholder,
Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund returned a disappointing 13.4% for the six-month period ending February 29, 2008. The funds performance matched that of its target benchmark, but trailed the broad U.S. stock markets return, as well as the average return for large-cap growth funds.
U.S. and foreign stocks tumbled amid recession, subprime concerns
The broad U.S. stock market returned 8.5% for the six months ended February 29, buffeted by tightening global credit markets (a reaction to the subprime mortgage crisis that began taking hold in midsummer), a weakening U.S. dollar, and fears of a U.S. recession.
Over the six-month period, large-cap stocks fared better than small-caps, growth stocks outpaced their value-oriented counterparts, and international stocks again outperformed U.S. stocks. But these performances should be viewed in relative terms: Each stock group posted a negative return.
Mortgage-market fallout roiled both taxable and tax-exempt bonds
As trouble spread from subprime mortgage-backed securities to other instruments, the credit markets grew treacherous. Investors flocked to higher-quality government and corporate bonds, driving U.S. Treasury bond prices higher.
2
The broad taxable bond market outpaced stocks, posting a total return of 5.7% for the fiscal half-year as lower interest rates depressed yields and pushed up prices. By contrast, tax-exempt municipal bonds returned 0.6%, as fixed income investors pulled back from all but the highest-quality, most liquid securitiespreferably Treasuries. This, combined with concerns about the financial strength of the insurers backing the highest-quality municipal bonds, pushed municipal yields above those of Treasuries, a historically unusual relationship.
The Federal Reserve Board responded to the credit-market turmoil and deteriorating economic outlook with aggressive reductions in its target for the federal funds rate. The Fed began a series of five rate cuts early in the fiscal half-year, ending with two cuts in January. The target rate stood at 3.0% at the end of the period, the lowest level since June 2005, and investors anticipated more rate cuts.
Heavy weightings in financials, technology hindered performance
Vanguard FTSE Social Index Funds disappointing six-month return of 13.4% was on track with that of its target benchmark. However, the fund underperformed its peers and the broad U.S. stock market.
The funds mandate causes it to concentrate its holdings in the financials, information technology, and consumer discretionary sectorswhich contain more of the stocks

that meet the social and environmental criteria established by FTSE, the index provider. Over the most recent half-year period, these sectors performed poorly and were the funds biggest detractors.
The past six months have been an especially rough period for financial stocks. The funds heavy allocation of more than 30% in the financials sectorit focuses on commercial banks and mortgage companies in particularplayed a big part in its disappointing performance. Large holdings in information technology companies, such as Google, Intel, and Apple, also hurt performance.
The markets only bright spots were the energy and materials sectors. Because of the funds social and environmental screening process, these sectors are underweighted in the index and did little to help the funds performance.
Maintain a long-term focus and a well-balanced portfolio
Although Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund had a rough six-month period, its important to remember that, in the context of a long-term investment program, six-month results are mostly noise. For this reason, we continue to urge shareholders to look past short-term performancegood and bad. Instead, we recommend

that shareholders focus on investing for the long run and maintaining a well-diversified portfolio.
Remaining focused on your long-term goals and investing in a portfolio thats diversified among stocks, bonds, and short-term reserves can help provide peace of mind during the markets many ups and downs. Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund can help shareholders meet their financial goals as part of a well-balanced portfolio.
As I close this report to you, its my pleasure to introduce the funds new president, F. William McNabb III. Bill is a man of great character and integrity who is intimately familiar with all aspects of Vanguardfrom 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. Im thrilled that the funds board elected him president, effective March 1, and designated him as my successor 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

Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard FTSE Social 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 World Funds. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the funds minimum purchase requirements. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million.
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 materially affected by events occurring before the funds pricing time but after the close of the securities primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that funds net asset value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended August 31, 20042007) and for the period ended February 29, 2008, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the funds financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. 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.
5. 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.
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 February 29, 2008, the fund had contributed capital of $51,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the funds net assets and 0.05% of Vanguards capitalization. The funds trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
18
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 funds tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at August 31, 2007, the fund had available realized losses of $1,431,000 to offset future net capital gains of $79,000 through August 31, 2012, $985,000 through August 31, 2013, and $367,000 through August 31, 2014. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending August 31, 2008; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balances above.
At February 29, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $580,382,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $20,677,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $52,216,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $72,893,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the six months ended February 29, 2008, the fund purchased $195,636,000 of investment securities and sold $199,149,000 of investment securities other than temporary cash investments.
E. The market value of securities on loan to broker-dealers at February 29, 2008, was $2,951,000, for which the fund received cash collateral of $3,222,000.
F. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

About Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a funds gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A funds expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table below illustrates your funds costs in two ways:
Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The Ending Account Value shown is derived from the funds actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading Expenses Paid During Period.
Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your funds costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this casebecause the return used is not the funds actual returnthe results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your funds costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.24% for Investor Shares and 0.11% for Institutional 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.
20
Note that the expenses shown in the table on page 20 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 service fee described in the prospectus. If such a fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a sales load.
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the funds expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your funds current prospectus.

Glossary
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a funds 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 funds 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.
Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.
Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a funds investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a funds average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by stocks or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the funds 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.
Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a funds stocks, weighted by the proportion of the funds assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the funds assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.
Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.
Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stocks current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a companys future growth.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a funds past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a funds total returns were precisely synchronized with an indexs returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the funds returns bore no relationship to the indexs 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.
Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholders equity (net income divided by shareholders equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.
22
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 funds 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.
Yield. A funds 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the funds security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the funds hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the funds estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a securitys income is based on its current market yield to maturity (in the case of bonds) or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differat times significantlyfrom the funds actual experience. As a result, the funds income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

The People Who Govern Your Fund
The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your funds trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.
A majority of Vanguards board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals.
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 trustees retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the funds 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.
