Chairman’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

Like their U.S. counterpart, international stock markets experienced sharp declines during the summer; however, the growth juggernaut in developing countries was not to be stopped. Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund returned an eye-popping 69.6% for Investor Shares. Gains in Europe and the Pacific region were more modest, but remained well ahead of the U.S. broad market.

Results for the Vanguard International Stock Index Funds exceeded those for their respective benchmark indexes and the average returns for their peer groups, with the exception of the Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund and its institutional counterpart, which is available at a minimum initial investment of $5 million. The funds’ outperformance relative to the benchmarks was an anomaly driven by short-term discrepancies that arose from fair-value pricing, which is described more fully below.

If you own one or more of the funds in a taxable account, you may wish to review the details of the funds’ after-tax returns on page 120.

Stocks rode a bumpy path to impressive results

The turmoil that hit stock markets during the summer arose in the arena of U.S. housing finance. Years of extending home loans to U.S. buyers with weak credit came home to roost, ruffling balance sheets across the United States and Europe, where many financial institutions invested heavily in income-oriented products based on these mortgages. Skittish investors also had to contend with soaring crude oil prices, which touched historic highs at the end of the fiscal year, and a U.S. dollar that dipped to record lows versus other major currencies.

Still, the broad U.S. stock market returned an impressive 15.3%, while gains were significantly larger in Europe and emerging markets, which also benefited from a falling dollar. In the United States, large capitalization stocks outperformed small-caps, and growth stocks outperformed value stocks—both continuing the recent months’ reversals of longer-term trends. In most markets around the globe, top performances came from stocks in the energy, materials, and industrials sectors, which have benefited from rapid industrialization in emerging market economies.

Bond investors converged on high-quality issues

As troubles in the subprime credit markets rippled across the financial markets, bond investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury bonds. This “flight to quality” drove prices for Treasuries higher and yields lower, and widened the spread between Treasury yields and the much higher yields demanded by investors for riskier bonds. Declines in Treasury yields were steepest at the short end of the maturity spectrum, aided by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board. The central bank lowered the target for short-term interest rates to 4.5% in two separate rate cuts (a half-percentage-point in September and a quarter-point on October 31). The yield of the 3-month Treasury bill finished the fiscal period at 3.92% after spending much of the year near 5%; the 10-year Treasury note ended at 4.47%.

Strong returns from markets around the globe

The Vanguard International Stock Index Fund lineup includes three distinct regional index funds (European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets) and three funds-of-funds that contain combinations of those regional funds.

The European Stock Index Fund’s Investor Shares posted a 28.5% return for the fiscal period. All three of the fund’s most heavily weighted countries (the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, which, on average, represented more than half of the index) posted stellar gains. The strongest results came from industrials, utilities, telecommunication services, and materials companies—with returns in these sectors ranging from 43% to 55%.

Exports to rapidly growing emerging markets fed the gains, which were also buoyed by an active mergers-and-acquisitions market. The weakest-performing sector was health care, which gained less than 2%. Negative returns from AstraZeneca and Novartis restrained performance for the fiscal year.

The Pacific Stock Index Fund’s Investor Shares returned 19.5% for the period. The gains here were lopsided: The 56.6% and 63.4% returns of Australia and Hong Kong, which together represented roughly 25% of the index on average, gave heft to returns that were otherwise restrained by a 4.9% performance from Japan, which represented 70% of the index. Japanese banks were particularly weak during the year, partly because of the impact of subprime mortgages. The Pacific Stock Index’s brightest sectors were energy, materials, and industrials. No sectors produced negative returns; however, utilities were flat and consumer discretionary stocks gained less than 4%, with Toyota Motor—Japan’s largest stock—falling 2%.

The Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund’s Investor Shares delivered a 69.6% return, with supercharged results coming from throughout the developing world. Brazil, for example, gained 111.5% for the year, largely on the strength of its energy, metals, and mining companies. South Korea gained 56.3%, with shipping, construction, and engineering firms leading the way. The two countries accounted, on average, for just over 25% of the index. The Chinese stock market, home to a series of meteoric initial public offerings, soared 167.1%. China represented about 17% of the index at the end of the period. Among sectors, industrials and materials clocked triple-digit gains for the year, while energy, financials, and telecommunications stocks each gained in excess of 65%. The “weakest” sector was information technology, which gained 24.8%.

The Total International Stock Index Fund, the Developed Markets Index Fund, and the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund are “funds of funds” that hold other Vanguard index funds; as such, their returns are a composite of results from different regions. The Total International Stock Index Fund—which holds market-based weightings in European, Pacific, and emerging market securities—returned 32.5% over the 12 months. The Developed Markets Index Fund and the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund, which include only European and Pacific markets, returned 25.7% and 25.8%, respectively, for the period.

Fair-value pricing gave funds a slight performance advantage

As noted earlier, the returns of the funds exceeded those of their target indexes for the period. These gaps were largely a fleeting artifact of fair-value pricing, which allows the funds to calculate their net asset values based on real-time developments not reflected in closing market prices overseas. When fair-value pricing is used at the open or close of a reporting period, it may cause a seeming divergence between the return of a fund and that of its index. This discrepancy corrects itself when market prices reflect fair value, usually the next day.

The funds’ long-term results are more than respectable

As the table on page 12 shows, the Vanguard International Stock Index Funds have met their objective of tracking their respective benchmarks over the past decade. Their returns have also surpassed the average annual returns of their respective peer groups since inception or for the ten years ended October 31, 2007.

Vanguard’s Quantitative Equity Group has been managing index funds for more than 30 years. Its disciplined execution of the funds’ indexing mandates, combined with the funds’ extremely low costs, can help you capture as much of the respective markets’ return as possible.

International exposure helps to diversify your holdings

While investors in international stocks have come to expect lofty returns, there is no guarantee that these securities will continue to soar. That is why it is important to have a well-thought-out investment strategy based on a diversified mix of stock, bond, and money market mutual funds that fits your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. The extended period of outperformance for international markets may mean it is time to rebalance your portfolio to make sure your asset allocations have not gotten out of sync.

By combining domestic stock funds with international funds, as well as bond and money market funds, you can do much to insulate your portfolio from markets that can frown on one asset class and smile on another at the same time.

The International Stock Index Funds can add diversification to your portfolio and help you move toward your long-term investment goals.

Thank you for your ongoing confidence in Vanguard.

Sincerely,

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.

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

 

42

 


 

European Stock Index Fund

 

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 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. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the 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 October 31, 2007, the fund had contributed capital of $3,021,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 3.02% 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 year ended October 31, 2007, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $602,000.

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.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $7,800,000, 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 year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $7,649,000, 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 on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2007, was $19,314,000, of which $17,126,000 has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net income.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized $33,426,000 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.

For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had $997,169,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $13,739,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2011.

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $24,541,847,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $13,417,042,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $13,471,347,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $54,305,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements, and is effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. 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) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of October 31, 2007, no provision for income tax would be required in the fund’s financial statements.

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.

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. Signal Shares were first issued on June 4, 2007. 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

 

76

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 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. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the 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 October 31, 2007, the fund had contributed capital of $1,375,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.37% 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 year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $1,097,000, 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 year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $5,344,000, 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 on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2007, was $194,526,000, of which $104,173,000 has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net income.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized $10,913,000 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.

For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had $337,040,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. 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.

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $13,149,250,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,150,300,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $4,757,661,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $607,361,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At October 31, 2007, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in December 2007 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

D. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund purchased $3,698,629,000 of investment securities and sold $411,782,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

E. The market value of securities on loan to broker-dealers at October 31, 2007, was $307,796,000, for which the fund received cash collateral of $323,075,000.

G. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements, and is effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. 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) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of October 31, 2007, no provision for income tax would be required in the fund’s financial statements.

Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Emerging Markets 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. Signal Shares were first issued on January 19, 2007. 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. Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected stocks in the fund’s target index, when investing through a swap provides a return advantage over buying the individual stocks. Under the terms of each swap, the fund receives the total return (either receiving the increase or paying the decrease) on a reference stock, applied to a notional amount that is the value of a designated number of shares of the stock at the beginning of the swap. The fund agrees to pay the counterparty a floating rate that is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, less a specified interest rate spread, applied to the notional amount. The primary risks associated with the swaps are that a counterparty will default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund, or that the fund will incur fees in the

event it terminates a swap prior to the scheduled termination date.

 

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets . Swaps are valued daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the 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 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 October 31, 2007, the fund had contributed capital of $1,855,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.85% 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 year ended October 31, 2007, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $296,000.

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.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $622,000, 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 year ended October 31, 2007, include realized losses on swaps of $52,000, and taxes paid on realized capital gains on Indian securities of $17,000, which are treated as decreases to taxable income; accordingly these amounts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

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 year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $263,000, 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 on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2007, was $41,815,000, of which $5,764,000 has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized $16,815,000 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. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had $397,625,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. 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 October 31, 2007, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $13,635,382,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $12,175,148,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $12,275,312,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $100,164,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund purchased $7,437,186,000 of investment securities and sold $1,528,669,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. The market value of securities on loan to broker-dealers at October 31, 2007, was $93,017,000, for which the fund received cash collateral of $95,394,000.

H. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements, and is effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. 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) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of October 31, 2007, no provision for income tax would be required in the fund’s financial statements.

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. 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. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the 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 year ended October 31, 2007, 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.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized $67,347,000 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.

For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had $8,839,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. 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.

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $18,194,871,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,533,014,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

D. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund purchased $5,823,633,000 of investment securities and sold $555,008,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements, and is effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. 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) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of October 31, 2007, no provision for income tax would be required in the fund’s financial statements.

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. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the 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 year ended October 31, 2007, 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.

For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had $2,767,000 of ordinary income and $7,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,527,020,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,453,401,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

D. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund purchased $950,504,000 of investment securities and sold $225,312,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

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. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the 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 year ended October 31, 2007, 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.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized $225,992,000 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 gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had $1,959,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $8,167,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2011.

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,593,588,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,517,433,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

D. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the fund purchased $1,442,776,000 of investment securities and sold $852,649,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements, and is effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. 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) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that as of October 31, 2007, no provision for income tax would be required in the fund’s financial statements.

Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Trustees of Vanguard International Equity Index Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard European Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund and Vanguard Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard European Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund and Vanguard Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund (separate portfolios of Vanguard International Equity Index Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2007, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, and by agreement to the underlying ownership records for the Vanguard Funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns

 

This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2007. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)

The table shows returns for Investor Shares only; returns for other share classes will differ. Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.

Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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 table on pages 123 and 124 illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include 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.

The other funds’ annualized acquired fund fees and expenses as of October 31, 2007, were (in top-to-bottom order as listed above) 0.26%, 0.22%, 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.

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%. 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.

 

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,

Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund opened to investors in early March 2007. I’m pleased to submit the fund’s first “annual report” for this partial year. The fund is designed to closely track the performance of an index made up of approximately 2,200 large-capitalization and mid-cap stocks in 46 developed and emerging market countries around the world but outside the United States. Slightly more than half of the fund’s assets are invested in European stocks, reflecting the relative size and more developed nature of Europe’s capital markets.

Since their inception, Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund Investor Shares returned 24.6%, successfully matching the benchmark during a period of significantly increased volatility. The share class exceeded the average return of international funds for the period by 5 percentage points.

Stocks rode a bumpy path to impressive results

The turmoil that hit global stock markets during the summer arose in the arena of U.S. housing finance. Years of extending home loans to U.S. buyers with weak credit came home to roost, with liquidity repercussions across the United States and Europe, where many financial institutions invested heavily in income-oriented products based on these mortgages. Skittish investors also had to contend with soaring crude oil prices, which touched historic highs at the end of the fiscal year, and a U.S. dollar that dipped to record lows versus other major currencies.

Still, the broad U.S. stock market returned an impressive 15.3% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2007 (which includes four months prior to your fund's inception in March 2007). Gains were significantly larger in Europe and emerging markets, which benefit from a falling U.S. dollar. In the United States, large-cap stocks outperformed small-caps, and growth stocks outperformed value stocks—both continuing the recent months’ reversals of longer-term trends. In most markets around the globe, top performers were stocks in the energy, materials, and industrials sectors, which have benefited from rapid industrialization in emerging-market economies.

Bond investors converged on high-quality issues

As troubles in the subprime credit markets rippled across the financial markets, bond investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury bonds. This “flight to quality” drove prices for Treasuries higher and yields lower, and widened the spread between Treasury yields and the much higher yields demanded by investors for riskier bonds. Declines in Treasury yields were steepest at the short end of the maturity spectrum, aided by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board. The central bank lowered the target for short-term interest rates to 4.5% in two separate rate cuts (a half-percentage-point in September and a quarter-point on October 31). The yield of the 3-month Treasury bill finished the fiscal period at 3.92% after spending much of the year near 5%; the 10-year Treasury note ended at 4.47%.

For the year, the broad taxable U.S. bond market returned 5.4%. Returns from tax-exempt bonds were lower, as these issues did not benefit from the late-summer rally in Treasuries.

International stocks kept climbing ahead of lagging U.S. markets

World stock markets outside the United States continued to climb from March through October 2007, outperforming U.S. markets by a very wide margin. Europe’s developed markets rose more than 20%. Asia-Pacific developed markets registered double-digit gains, excluding Japan. Emerging markets in Latin America and Asia delivered stellar results. The strong performance of Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund reflected this broad-based rally and the fund’s participation in nearly all non-U.S. markets.

Nearly all of Europe’s developed markets posted significant gains. The continued appreciation of the euro and other major currencies versus the U.S. dollar acted as a tailwind to boost performance for U.S. investors. Collectively, Europe’s three largest markets—the United Kingdom, Germany, and France—contributed more than one-quarter of the fund’s total return.

Some of the best-performing sectors in Europe’s developed countries were materials, energy, and telecommunication services, all beneficiaries of growing demand for infrastructure-related materials, especially in the developing world. Strong performers in the materials sector included chemicals companies such as Akzo Nobel, BASF, Bayer, and Imperial Chemical Industries. In energy, three of the fund’s largest holdings notched gains ranging from 24% to 38%: Total, BP, and Royal Dutch Shell. Telecommunication services was another bright spot; top-five holding Vodafone Group was a leading performer, benefiting from booming demand for wireless communications with increasing market penetration in emerging markets.

In Asia–Pacific developed markets, both Australia and Hong Kong reached new highs. Hong Kong rose more than 65%, due in part to its strategic location as a gateway to China. The regional weak spot was Japan, the world’s second-largest stock market. After years of fits and starts, the Japanese economy is still struggling to gain traction, while an appreciating yen has put pressure on the nation’s exporters. Japan’s large financials sector was a notable disappointment during the past 12 months.

In natural-resource-rich Australia, materials and energy companies benefited from high prices and favorable supply-and-demand dynamics, which drove up their stock prices. On the other side of the globe, a similar scenario played out in Canada, where the same sectors were strong. Top Canadian performers included aluminum smelter Alcan (which was acquired in the biggest

 

3

 


foreign takeover in Canadian history), Barrick Gold, Imperial Oil, and fertilizer producer Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan.

Emerging markets, led by Asia–Pacific countries, significantly outperformed the developed markets. Four of the largest emerging markets—Brazil, Russia, India, and China, the so-called “BRIC” countries—were among the top performers. China’s rapid development has launched its stock market to dizzying heights. In addition, China’s appetite for commodities and other basic industrial building blocks has propelled the petroleum- and metals-driven stock markets of Russia and Brazil.

International stocks offer a world of opportunities

The U.S. market represents less than half of the value of all global equities. This means that there are many compelling investment opportunities beyond U.S. borders. Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund, with its exceptionally broad exposure to stocks from around the world, offers you the chance to participate in the rapid economic growth of emerging markets and to gain exposure to large, successful companies in the world’s developed markets. An allocation to international stocks can also mitigate some of the risk found in a portfolio limited to the U.S. market. Even though it often appears that international markets mirror the U.S. market, our research suggests that investing a portion of your stock portfolio outside U.S. borders helps you to capture diversification benefits.

At Vanguard, we always encourage shareholders to invest with a long-term view, to diversify within and across asset classes, and to pay attention to costs.

 

In deciding to allocate a portion of your portfolio to international stocks, you should consider your goals, your time horizon, and your appetite for risk. As part of a balanced investment strategy, Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund can play an important role in helping you reach your financial goals.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,

 


 

John J. Brennan

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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.

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 were first issued on March 8, 2007, and are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Institutional Shares were first issued on April 30, 2007, and are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares were first issued on March 2, 2007, and first offered to the public on March 8, 2007, and 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 qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

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

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. Fees assessed on purchases and redemptions of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

 

77

 


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 October 31, 2007, the fund had contributed capital of $85,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.09% 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 period ended October 31, 2007, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $16,000.

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.

During the period ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $396,000, 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 period ended October 31, 2007, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $73,000, which have been included in current period taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2007, was $1,393,000.

For tax purposes, at October 31, 2007, the fund had $10,931,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $1,431,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2015.

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,337,900,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $127,671,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $146,325,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $18,654,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the period ended October 31, 2007, the fund purchased $1,366,692,000 of investment securities and sold $62,153,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. The market value of securities on loan to broker-dealers at October 31, 2007, was $1,811,000, for which the fund received cash collateral of $2,001,000.

G. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

H. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements, effective for the fund’s current fiscal period. Management has analyzed the fund’s federal tax positions taken for the period from inception to October 31, 2007, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered

Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Trustees of Vanguard International Equity Index Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund (the “Fund”) at October 31, 2007, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and broker, and by agreement to the underlying ownership records for Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 0.40% for Investor Shares, 0.15% for Institutional Shares, and 0.25% 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.

 

81

 


 

Note that the expenses shown in the table on page 47 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.

Glossary

 

 

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.

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

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.
