Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
•
| Despite some relief toward the close of the period, the 12 months ended November 30, 2022, were a volatile, challenging period for financial markets. Vanguard Wellington Fund returned –8.36% for Admiral Shares
and –8.43% for Investor Shares. It posted better results than the –10.80% return of its composite benchmark index, a mix of 65% U.S. stocks and 35% U.S. bonds that reflects the fund’s target asset
allocation.
|
•
| The economic backdrop deteriorated early on as inflation soared to multidecade highs, fueled in part by higher energy and food prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Then price increases broadened
to other categories of goods and services, adding to concerns that inflation would remain stubbornly high. That prompted aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve to bring inflation back in check, which weighed on
bond prices and increased fears of recession.
|
•
| The stock portion of the fund’s portfolio outpaced the –9.21% return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index by almost 4 percentage points. The fund’s holdings in the consumer discretionary
sector held up much better than those in the index. However, the fund’s energy stocks, while posting an impressive return of around 31%, did not keep pace with the 76% return of the index’s energy stocks.
|
•
| The bond portion just slightly lagged the –14.46% return of the Bloomberg U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index. Relative to the bond index, the fund benefited from its underweight
to duration and credit spread duration during this period of rising rates, but that was offset by its sector allocation and security selection.

Vanguard Wellington Fund’s Investor
Shares returned –8.43% for the 12 months ended November 30, 2022, outperforming the fund’s benchmark, the Wellington Composite Index, which returned –10.80%. The index is weighted 65%
large-capitalization stocks (as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index) and 35% high-quality corporate bonds (as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index). The fund’s Lipper
peer group—Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds—returned an average of –9.55%. The equity portfolio outperformed its benchmark, while the fixed income portfolio underperformed its benchmark.
Investment environment
U.S. stocks generally
outperformed international stocks for the 12 months. The S&P 500 returned –9.21%, compared with –10.14% for the MSCI EAFE Index.
In December 2021, markets
rebounded on strong corporate earnings, accommodative financial conditions, and robust global equity inflows despite COVID-19’s proliferation. Amid rising geopolitical instability, tighter monetary policy to
address accelerating inflation, and fears about the global economic growth outlook, volatility rose sharply during the first quarter of 2022. Russia’s attack forced millions to flee Ukraine as fighting
intensified and living conditions deteriorated rapidly in many cities. Prices for natural gas, select grains, and metals surged, and Brent crude oil prices topped $100 per barrel amid expectations that economic
sanctions would cripple Russian energy exports and restrict supplies of key commodities.
Risk sentiment plunged in the second quarter
as investors grew increasingly concerned about the economic toll of persistent geopolitical instability, soaring inflation, rising interest rates, and constrained supply chains. Inflation remained elevated globally
and energy prices continued to rise. These challenges persisted into the third quarter with the Federal Reserve raising rates to rein in the highest inflation in decades. Stocks rallied sharply over the final two
months of the period, and investor sentiment improved after softer-than-expected inflation in the U.S. and Europe fueled hopes that the Fed and the European Central Bank would begin to taper their pace of rate hikes,
triggering significant declines in U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar.
Bond markets largely generated
negative returns over the trailing 12-month period, driven by rising Treasury yields. Government bond yields moved sharply higher following ongoing monetary policy tightening. U.S. labor market strength persisted,
while housing market resilience was tested by surging mortgage rates, lack of inventory, and home-price appreciation. Central banks across most developed markets reinforced their hawkish intentions and expressed a
willingness to keep policy restrictive, even in the face of slower growth and weaker labor markets. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned –12.84%, outperforming the higher-quality credit market as
represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index, which returned –14.46%. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note rose over the 12 months from 1.44% to 3.61%.
The fund’s successes
In the stock portfolio, sector
allocation contributed to relative returns, driven by the fund’s underweighting of information technology and overweighting of health care and energy. Security selection also helped, particularly in consumer
discretionary, health care, and IT. Strong individual contributors to performance included Progressive, Shell, and Humana. A lack of exposure to stocks such as Tesla and Nvidia boosted relative returns.
In the fixed income portfolio,
most spread sectors underperformed amid growing concerns that tighter financial conditions resulting from less accommodative policy could tip the global economy into recession. An underweighting of credit spread
duration was the primary relative positive contributor. Within investment-grade corporates, selection in utilities—particularly electric utilities—added to relative performance. Duration/yield curve
positioning also helped, driven by a moderate overall duration underweight, particularly an underweight to the 1- and 30-year portions of the yield curve at the start of the period as yields rose broadly.
The fund’s shortfalls
In the stock portfolio,
selection in energy, communication services, and consumer staples detracted from relative returns. An underweighting of materials also hurt overall performance. Key detractors included Meta Platforms, Johnson &
Johnson, and Microsoft. A lack of exposure to Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Berkshire Hathaway, and Eli Lilly hurt relative returns.
On the fixed income side,
positioning within investment-grade credit offset positive effects from elsewhere in the portfolio and was the primary driver of overall underperformance, particularly an underweighting of and selection in
industrials. Selection in financials (primarily exposure to banking and insurance issuers) also detracted. Within noncorporate credit, an underweighting of and selection in taxable municipals hurt, as did selection in
local agency issuers. Out-of-benchmark exposure to securitized sectors such as mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities detracted from relative performance.
The fund’s positioning
Looking ahead, the range of
outcomes is wide for the global economy and therefore asset markets. On the one hand, financial conditions have tightened considerably, leading growth to slow and inflation to begin moderating. On the other hand,
consumer spending and corporate earnings remain robust, and we have not yet experienced the significant slowdown that central bankers are trying to engineer. We monitor the macro environment closely and continue to
direct much of our research efforts to company-specific analysis, where we believe our most differentiated insights are likely to lie. Our focus remains on companies that can deliver resilient results across economic
and market environments and stock prices that trade at moderate valuations.
Over the 12 months, we
initiated new positions in ConocoPhillips, Honeywell, Glencore, and 15 other businesses. ConocoPhillips is a low-cost producer of
oil and gas globally. We prefer Conoco over
Total because of its U.S. domicile, where the risk of windfall tax and disruption from the Russia/Ukraine war is lower. Honeywell is a well-managed industrial conglomerate with concentrations in aerospace and building
controls. We believe its long-term growth prospects are not fully reflected in today’s valuation. Glencore is a low-cost producer of a range of metals, many of which will be necessary in the global energy
transition away from combustible-engine vehicles. We believe the supply side of metals production will remain constrained, causing sustainably high metals prices. Our largest sector overweights are health care,
industrials, and consumer discretionary. Conversely, our largest sector underweights are IT, communication services, and materials.
On the fixed income side, we
maintain a modestly defensive stance as market volatility has remained elevated. The Treasury yield curve reflects recessionary expectations. Given the substantially higher rate environment this year and growing
growth concerns, we positioned the portfolio with a duration posture generally in line with the benchmark as of the end of the period. We anticipate interest rate duration to provide greater downside protection going
forward.
The bond portfolio maintains
an out-of-benchmark allocation to U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities as our liquidity buffer to provide downside protection if the economic cycle or the equity portfolio takes an unfavorable
turn.
Investment-grade corporate
credit remains the portfolio’s primary investment focus. Investment-grade credit fundamentals are strong but have likely peaked. While financial conditions tightened meaningfully in 2022, their impacts are only
beginning to be felt. We reduced our exposure to the BBB-rated issues and remain focused on investing in companies with defensive profiles and balance sheets that can weather a more difficult environment in 2023.
We remain disciplined in our
application of our investment process, which allows us to create a balanced portfolio that we believe should perform well in a variety of environments. We remain focused on long-term, low-turnover
investing—features that we believe will serve the fund’s shareholders well.

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

The calculations are
based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund's annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.17% for Admiral 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 (183/365).
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 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 Wellington Fund is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different
eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors.
Certain of the fund's
investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers' abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. Significant market disruptions, such as those
caused by pandemics (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), natural or environmental disasters, war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and
normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse impact on the value of the fund's investments and fund performance.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its
financial statements.
1. Security Valuation:
Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. Bonds and temporary cash
investments are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent
pricing services.
Structured debt securities, including
mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted
average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral, as furnished by independent pricing services.
Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund
are valued at that fund's net asset value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the
close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight 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.
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. To Be Announced (TBA)
Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may be a seller of
TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA
transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a
counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and
monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for
their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the
fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its MSFTA, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund
under the MSFTA.
At November 30, 2022,
counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $12,150,000 and cash of $12,715,000 in connection with TBA transactions.
4. Mortgage Dollar
Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined
price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities
sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund also enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys
mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll
transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The
fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open
mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
5. Repurchase
Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements
mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and
principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into
master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty's default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements
with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition
of collateral.
6. Futures Contracts:
The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced,
or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices
of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further
mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing
brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any
securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued
at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures
contracts.
During the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during
the period.
7. Swap Contracts: The
fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection
through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through
credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit
protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure
to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an
amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the
difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.
The fund enters into centrally
cleared credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead
of the clearing broker or executing broker. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund's performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market
value of each contract. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers, and
clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.
The primary risk associated
with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine
the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk associated with all types of
swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap
contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with
its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold,
or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance
with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty
may terminate open contracts if the fund's net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would
be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the
value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap
contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is
recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take
delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The
net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.
During the year
ended November 30, 2022, the fund's average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented less than 1%of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each
quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open credit default swap contracts at November 30, 2022.
8. Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state
income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
9. Distributions:
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes.
10. Securities Lending:
To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by
collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When
this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only
with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements
provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net
amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the
securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period
the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income
earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
11. Credit Facilities
and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.4 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a
credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings
may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are
charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and
included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at an agreed-upon spread plus the higher of the federal funds
effective rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate inclusive of an additional agreed-upon spread. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear
interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an
exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each
other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment
objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to
be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
12. Other: Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from
Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities, except for
premiums on certain callable debt securities that are amortized to the earliest call date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains
(losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Taxes on foreign dividends and
capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Deferred foreign capital gains tax, if any, is accrued daily based upon
net unrealized gains. The fund has filed tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings
within these countries. Amounts related to these reclaims are recorded when there are no significant uncertainties as to the ultimate resolution of proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these reclaims, and
the potential timing of payment. Such tax reclaims and related professional fees, if any, are included in dividend income and other expenses, respectively.
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. Wellington Management Company llp provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. The basic fee is subject to quarterly adjustments based on the
fund's performance relative to the combined index comprising the S&P 500 Index and the Bloomberg Capital U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index for the preceding three years. For the year ended November 30, 2022, the
investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.08% of the fund’s average net assets before a net decrease of $13,745,000 (0.01%) based on performance.
C. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund corporate management, administrative,
marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of
trustees and are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard,
the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At November 30, 2022, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $3,876,000, representing less than 0.01% of the
fund’s net assets and 1.55% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D. The fund has asked its investment advisor to direct certain security trades, subject to obtaining the best price and execution, to brokers who have agreed to rebate to the fund part of the
commissions generated. Such rebates are used solely to reduce the fund’s management and administrative expenses. The fund's custodian bank has also agreed to reduce its fees when the
fund maintains cash on deposit in the
non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended November 30, 2022, these arrangements reduced the fund's management and administrative expenses by $65,000 and custodian fees by $76,000. The total expense
reduction represented an effective annual rate of less than 0.01% of the fund's average net assets.
E. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The
inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant
unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes
the market value of the fund's investments and derivatives as of November 30, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:

G. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These
reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for applicable foreign currency transactions, distributions
in connection with fund share redemptions, and swap agreements were reclassified between the following accounts:
| Amount
($000)
|
Paid-in Capital
| 462,037
|
Total Distributable Earnings (Loss)
| (462,037)
|
Temporary differences between
book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these
differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the deferral of losses from wash sales; the deferral of losses from straddles; and the recognition of unrealized gains or
losses from certain derivative contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

H. During the year ended November 30, 2022, the fund purchased $21,940,325,000 of investment securities and sold $26,846,693,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities
and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $23,492,885,000 and $23,530,481,000, respectively.
The fund purchased securities
from and sold securities to other funds or accounts managed by its investment advisor or their affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940. For the year ended November 30, 2022, such purchases were $187,921,000 and sales were $0; these amounts, other than temporary cash investments, are included in the purchases and sales of
investment securities noted above.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Vanguard Wellington Fund
Opinion on the Financial
Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of
assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments of Vanguard Wellington Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Wellington Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund”) as of November 30, 2022,
the related statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2022, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2022, including the related notes, and the
financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended November 30, 2022 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended
November 30, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended November 30, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of
these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, the transfer agent and brokers; when replies
were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement
The board of trustees of Vanguard Wellington
Fund has renewed the fund’s investment advisory arrangement with Wellington Management Company llp (Wellington Management). The board determined that renewing the fund’s advisory arrangement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
The board based its decision
upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department,
which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. The Portfolio Review Department met regularly with the advisor and made monthly presentations to the board during the fiscal year that
directed the board’s focus to relevant information and topics.
The board, or an investment
committee made up of board members, also received information throughout the year during advisor presentations. For each advisor presentation, the board was provided with letters and reports that included information
about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisor’s assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.
In addition, the board
received periodic reports throughout the year, which included information about the fund’s performance relative to its peers and benchmark, as applicable, and updates, as needed, on the Portfolio Review
Department’s ongoing assessment of the advisor.
Prior to their meeting, the
trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they received over the course of the year. They also considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor
determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.
Nature, extent, and quality of
services
The board reviewed the quality of the
fund’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board considered that Wellington Management, founded in
1928, is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional managers. The portfolio managers leverage tenured teams of equity and fixed income research analysts who conduct detailed fundamental analysis
of their respective industries and companies. In managing the equity portion of the fund, the portfolio managers employ bottom-up, fundamental research focusing on high-quality companies with above-average yields,
strong balance sheets, sustainable competitive advantages, and attractive valuations. In managing the fixed income portion of the fund, the portfolio managers focus on investment-grade corporate bonds. The firm has
advised the fund since its inception in 1929.
The board concluded that the
advisor’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.
Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term
performance of the fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance compared with a relevant benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory
arrangement should continue.
Cost
The board concluded that the fund’s
expense ratio was below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the fund’s advisory fee rate was also below the peer-group average.
The board did not consider the
profitability of Wellington Management in determining whether to approve the advisory fee because Wellington Management is independent of Vanguard and the advisory fee is the result of arm’s-length
negotiations.
The benefit of economies of
scale
The board concluded that the fund’s
shareholders benefit from economies of scale because of the breakpoints in the fund’s advisory fee schedule. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fee as the fund’s assets increase.
The board will consider
whether to renew the advisory arrangement again after a one-year period.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
•
| Vanguard’s five U.S. Factor ETFs posted returns ranging from about –7% to nearly 8% (based on net asset value) for the 12 months ended November 30, 2022. Despite a challenging economic and investment
environment, all five ETFs beat the –10.80% return of their benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.
|
•
| The economic backdrop deteriorated early on as inflation soared to multidecade highs, fueled in part by higher energy and food prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Then price increases broadened
to other categories of goods and services. That prompted aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve to bring inflation back in check, which increased fears of a recession.
|
•
| The U.S. Factor ETFs seek to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks that have lower or higher measures of certain factors relative to the broad U.S. equity market.
|
•
| Vanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF performed best among the group, returning 7.63% based on net asset value. Energy, information technology, and financials produced the strongest relative
performance. Vanguard U.S. Quality Factor ETF had the lowest return, at –7.15% based on net asset value.

For the 12 months ended November 30, 2022,
Vanguard’s five U.S. Factor ETFs posted returns (based on net asset value) ranging from –7.15% for the U.S. Quality Factor ETF to 7.63% for the U.S. Value Factor ETF. All five ETFs outpaced their
benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, which returned –10.80%.
The objective of each U.S.
Factor ETF is to create a portfolio that has broad exposure to large-, mid-, and small-capitalization U.S. equities and that has the potential for long-term capital appreciation, subject to rules-based screens as
follows:
•
| Vanguard U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF seeks to build a portfolio of stocks with lower volatility relative to the broad U.S. equity market.
|
•
| Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF seeks exposure to stocks with relatively strong recent performance as identified by measures such as returns over different periods.
|
•
| Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF seeks exposure to stocks with relatively strong recent performance, strong fundamentals, and low prices relative to fundamentals.
|
•
| Vanguard U.S. Quality Factor ETF seeks exposure to stocks with strong fundamentals as identified by measures such as profitability, earnings, and balance-sheet strength.
|
•
| Vanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF seeks exposure to stocks with lower prices
|
relative to fundamental measures of value
such as book/price and earnings/price ratios.
The investment environment
Concerns that had been weighing on market
sentiment in late 2021 carried into 2022. Supply-chain bottlenecks persisted, labor remained in short supply in some sectors of the economy as unemployment rates continued to fall, and year-on-year inflation
readings—which had been accelerating—climbed to multidecade highs across much of the world.
In late February,
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Oil headed north of $100 per barrel and staple food prices soared. While energy prices eventually began to cool amid slowing economic
growth and the U.S. government’s release of some of its strategic oil reserves to boost supply, price increases broadened to other categories of goods and services, heightening concerns that inflation might
remain stubbornly high.
In response, major central
banks wound down their bond-purchasing programs and began raising short-term interest rates. The Federal Reserve was especially aggressive, raising the federal funds rate target by 3.75 percentage points over eight
months.
That created a very
challenging environment for stocks. For the 12 months, the FTSE Global All Cap Index returned –11.30%. The U.S. stock market returned –9.21%, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index,
holding up
better than developed markets outside the
United States and emerging markets. Large-capitalization stocks did better than small-caps, and value stocks outpaced growth by a wide margin.
The ETFs’ successes and
shortfalls
For the 12-month period, the market tended to
reward strategies that favored companies with consistent earnings growth at attractive valuations. Sector exposure affected the ETFs differently based on the factors each seeks to emphasize:
•
| The U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF benefited in particular from its positions in information technology, consumer discretionary, and health care. Energy was the only sector that detracted.
|
•
| The U.S. Momentum Factor ETF was aided most by an overweight position in energy, an underweight to communication services, and selection in consumer discretionary. Relative outperformance was somewhat offset by
selection in a few sectors, most notably health care, industrials, and financials.
|
•
| The U.S. Multifactor ETF benefited most from its positions in energy, information technology, and communication services but was held back somewhat by its holdings in utilities.
|
•
| The U.S. Quality Factor ETF benefited most from its positions in information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services. Several sectors detracted, including
industrials, utilities, and health care.
|
•
| The U.S. Value Factor ETF was helped most by its positions in energy, information technology, and financials. Utilities and consumer staples detracted.
|
We expect our approach to
portfolio construction to produce long-term capital appreciation that reflects the factors emphasized by each of the U.S. Factor ETF portfolios. Results will vary over different periods and across factors. However, we
believe that focusing on the risk-adjusted returns of each portfolio relative to its targeted factors and the benchmark will serve investors well over time.
We thank you for your
investment and look forward to serving you in the period ahead.

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

The calculations are
based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds' annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.13% for the U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF, 0.13% for the U.S. Momentum Factor ETF,
0.18% for the U.S. Multifactor ETF,
0.13% for the U.S. Quality Factor ETF,
and 0.13% for the U.S. Value Factor ETF. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the
number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (183/365).

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 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.

U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Minimum
Volatility ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; they can be purchased and sold
through a broker. Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), natural or environmental disasters, war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, or
other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
A.
| The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
|
1. Security Valuation:
Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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 by
methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts:
The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a
desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is
the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and
has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin
representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued
at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures
contracts.
During the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during
the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations,
U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF
which is generally three years after the
filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the
fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions:
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending:
To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by
collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When
this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only
with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements
provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net
amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the
securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period
the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income
earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
6. Credit Facilities and
Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.4 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit
agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be
utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged
administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included
in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at an agreed-upon spread plus the higher of the federal funds effective rate,
the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate inclusive of an additional agreed-upon spread. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based
upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an
exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each
other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment
objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and
U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF
borrowings normally extend overnight but can
have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of
trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
B.
| In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing,
and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are
generally settled twice a month.
|
Upon the request of Vanguard,
the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At November 30, 2022, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $3,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s
net assets and less than 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C.
| Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used
to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
|
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant
unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
At November 30, 2022, 100% of
the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
D.
| Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These
|
U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF
reclassifications have no effect on net
assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for applicable in-kind redemptions were reclassified between the following accounts:
| Amount
($000)
|
Paid-in Capital
| 1,231
|
Total Distributable Earnings (Loss)
| (1,231)
|
Temporary differences between
book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these
differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the deferral of losses from wash sales; and the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative
contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:
| Amount

| During the year ended November 30, 2022, the fund purchased $61,268,000 of investment securities and sold $29,839,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $0
and $10,583,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund's capital shares.
|

Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor
ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; they can be purchased and sold through a
broker. Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), natural or environmental disasters, war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, or other
events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
A.
| The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
|
1. Security Valuation:
Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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 by
methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts:
The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a
desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is
the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and
has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin
representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued
at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures
contracts.
During the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during
the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations,
which is generally three years after the
filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the
fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions:
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending:
To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by
collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When
this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only
with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements
provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net
amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the
securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period
the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income
earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
6. Credit Facilities and
Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.4 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit
agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be
utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged
administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included
in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at an agreed-upon spread plus the higher of the federal funds effective rate,
the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate inclusive of an additional agreed-upon spread. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based
upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an
exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each
other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment
objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and
borrowings normally extend overnight but can
have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of
trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
B.
| In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing,
and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are
generally settled twice a month.
|
Upon the request of Vanguard,
the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At November 30, 2022, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $10,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s
net assets and less than 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C.
| Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used
to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
|
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant
unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
At November 30, 2022, 100% of
the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
D.
| Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These
|
reclassifications have no effect on net
assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for applicable in-kind redemptions and passive foreign investment companies were reclassified
between the following accounts:
| Amount
($000)
|
Paid-in Capital
| 9,094
|
Total Distributable Earnings (Loss)
| (9,094)
|
Temporary differences between
book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these
differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the deferral of losses from wash sales; the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts;
and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

At November 30, 2022, one
shareholder was a record or beneficial owner of 30% of the fund’s net assets. If this shareholder were to redeem its investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense
ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or lead to the realization of taxable capital gains.
G.
| Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2022, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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 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 U.S. Multifactor ETF
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), natural or environmental disasters, war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, or other events, can
adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
A.
| The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
|
1. Security Valuation:
Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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 by
methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts:
The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a
desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is
the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and
has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin
representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued
at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures
contracts.
During the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during
the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is
generally three years after the filing of the
tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial
statements.
4. Distributions:
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending:
To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by
collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When
this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only
with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements
provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net
amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the
securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period
the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income
earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
6. Credit Facilities and
Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.4 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit
agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be
utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged
administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included
in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at an agreed-upon spread plus the higher of the federal funds effective rate,
the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate inclusive of an additional agreed-upon spread. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based
upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an
exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each
other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment
objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and
borrowings normally extend overnight but can
have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of
trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
B.
| In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing,
and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are
generally settled twice a month.
|
Upon the request of Vanguard,
the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At November 30, 2022, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $6,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s
net assets and less than 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 November 30, 2022, custodian fee offset
arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $1,000 (an annual rate of less than 0.01% of average net assets).
|
D.
| Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes.
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
|
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

| Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These
|
reclassifications have no effect on net
assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for applicable in-kind redemptions were reclassified between the following accounts:
| Amount
($000)
|
Paid-in Capital
| 6,397
|
Total Distributable Earnings (Loss)
| (6,397)
|
Temporary differences between
book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these
differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the deferral of losses from wash sales; and the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative
contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:
| Amount
($000)
|
Undistributed Ordinary Income

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 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 U.S. Quality Factor
ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; they can be purchased and sold through a
broker. Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), natural or environmental disasters, war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, or other
events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
A.
| The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
|
1. Security Valuation:
Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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 by
methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts:
The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a
desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is
the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and
has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin
representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued
at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures
contracts.
During the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during
the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations,
which is generally three years after the
filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the
fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions:
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending:
To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by
collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When
this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only
with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements
provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net
amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the
securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period
the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income
earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
6. Credit Facilities and
Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.4 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit
agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be
utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged
administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included
in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at an agreed-upon spread plus the higher of the federal funds effective rate,
the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate inclusive of an additional agreed-upon spread. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based
upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an
exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each
other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment
objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and
borrowings normally extend overnight but can
have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of
trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
B.
| In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing,
and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are
generally settled twice a month.
|
Upon the request of Vanguard,
the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At November 30, 2022, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $8,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s
net assets and less than 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C.
| Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used
to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
|
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant
unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes
the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of November 30, 2022, based on the inputs used to value them:

|
D.
| Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no
effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for applicable in-kind redemptions were reclassified between the following accounts:
|
| Amount
($000)
|
Paid-in Capital
| 11,685
|
Total Distributable Earnings (Loss)
| (11,685)
|
Temporary differences between
book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these
differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components
of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

At November 30, 2022, one
shareholder was a record or beneficial owner of 46% of the fund’s net assets. If this shareholder were to redeem its investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense
ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or lead to the realization of taxable capital gains.
G.
| Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2022, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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 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 U.S. Value Factor ETF
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), natural or environmental disasters, war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, or other events, can
adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
A.
| The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
|
1. Security Valuation:
Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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 by
methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts:
The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a
desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is
the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and
has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin
representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued
at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures
contracts.
During the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during
the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations,
which is generally three years after the
filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the
fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions:
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending:
To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by
collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When
this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only
with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements
provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net
amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the
securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period
the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income
earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
6. Credit Facilities and
Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.4 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit
agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be
utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged
administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included
in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at an agreed-upon spread plus the higher of the federal funds effective rate,
the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate inclusive of an additional agreed-upon spread. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based
upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an
exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each
other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment
objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and
borrowings normally extend overnight but can
have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of
trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
B.
| In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing,
and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are
generally settled twice a month.
|
Upon the request of Vanguard,
the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At November 30, 2022, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $26,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s
net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 November 30, 2022, custodian fee offset
arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $1,000 (an annual rate of less than 0.01% of average net assets).
|
D.
| Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes.
The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
|
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant
unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
At November 30, 2022, 100% of
the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
E.
| Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These
|
reclassifications have no effect on net
assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for applicable in-kind redemptions and passive foreign investment companies were reclassified
between the following accounts:
| Amount
($000)
|
Paid-in Capital
| 79,675
|
Total Distributable Earnings (Loss)
| (79,675)
|
Temporary differences between
book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these
differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the deferral of losses from wash sales; and the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative
contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

| During the year ended November 30, 2022, the fund purchased $801,611,000 of investment securities and sold $598,155,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $0
and $200,862,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund's capital shares.
|
The fund purchased securities
from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940. For the year ended November 30, 2022, such purchases were $3,195,000 and sales were $1,669,000, resulting in net realized loss of $464,000; these amounts, other than temporary cash investments,
are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard
Wellington Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF, Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF, Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF, Vanguard U.S. Quality Factor ETF and Vanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF
Opinions on the Financial
Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements
of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Vanguard U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF, Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF, Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF, Vanguard U.S. Quality Factor ETF and
Vanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF (five of the funds constituting Vanguard Wellington Fund, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of November 30, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year
ended November 30, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in
the period ended November 30, 2022 and for the period February 13, 2018 (inception) through November 30, 2018 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of November 30, 2022, 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 ended November 30, 2022 and each of the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended November 30, 2022 and for the period February 13, 2018 (inception) through
November 30, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of
these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies
were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

The People Who Govern Your Fund
The trustees of your mutual
fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The
Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them.
A majority of Vanguard’s
board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board
members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 206 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee
and executive officer of the fund appears below. That information, as well as the Vanguard fund count, is as of the date on the cover of this fund report. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box
876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
•
| The 12 months ended November 30, 2022, were a volatile, challenging period for financial markets. Despite these headwinds, Vanguard U.S. Multifactor Fund returned 4.43% for the 12 months ended November 30, 2022. It
outpaced its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, which returned –10.80%.
|
•
| The economic backdrop deteriorated early on as inflation soared to multidecade highs, fueled in part by higher energy and food prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Then price increases broadened
to other categories of goods and services. That prompted aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve to bring inflation back in check, which increased fears of a recession.
|
•
| Ten of the fund’s 11 industry sectors contributed positively to relative performance. Our positions in energy, information technology, and communication services drove much of the fund’s outperformance.
Consumer discretionary, health care, and financials also produced strong results.
|
•
| Utilities was the only sector that detracted.

Vanguard U.S. Multifactor Fund returned 4.43%
for the 12 months ended November 30, 2022. It outpaced the –10.80% return of its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.
The fund seeks to create a
portfolio with broad equity exposure and the potential for long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks with relatively strong recent performance, strong fundamentals, and low prices relative to fundamentals.
To promote diversification and to mitigate exposure to less liquid and more volatile stocks, a rules-based screen is applied to the universe of all U.S. large-, mid-, and small-capitalization stocks. We then evaluate
the remaining securities based on exposure to momentum, quality, and value factors.
The investment environment
Concerns that had been weighing on market
sentiment in late 2021 carried into 2022. Supply-chain bottlenecks persisted, labor remained in short supply in some sectors of the economy as unemployment rates continued to fall, and year-on-year inflation
readings—which had been accelerating—climbed to multidecade highs across much of the world.
In late February,
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Oil headed north of $100 per barrel and staple food prices soared. While energy prices eventually began to cool amid slowing economic
growth and the U.S. government’s release of some of its strategic oil reserves to boost supply, price increases broadened to other
categories of goods and services, heightening
concerns that inflation might remain stubbornly high.
In response, major central
banks wound down their bond-purchasing programs and began raising short-term interest rates. The Federal Reserve was especially aggressive, raising the federal funds target rate by 3.75 percentage points over eight
months.
That created a very
challenging environment for stocks. For the 12 months, the FTSE Global All Cap Index returned –11.30%. The U.S. stock market returned –9.21%, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index,
holding up better than developed markets outside the United States and especially emerging markets. Large-capitalization stocks did better than small-caps, and value stocks outpaced growth by a wide margin.
The fund’s successes and
shortfalls
Ten of the fund’s 11 industry sectors
helped relative performance. Holdings in energy, information technology, and communication services contributed the most, while utilities was the only sector that detracted.
The fund's emphasis on stocks
with high exposure to quality (strong fundamentals), value (low price relative to fundamentals), and momentum factors (relatively strong recent performance) was particularly effective.
Top contributors included
underweight allocations to Amazon and Tesla in consumer discretionary, Meta Platforms
in communication services, and NVIDIA in IT,
as well an overweight position in EOG Resources in energy. An overweight position in Moderna in health care and underweight positions in Chevron in Energy, Visa in IT, and Johnson & Johnson and UnitedHealth in
health care detracted.
We expect our approach to
portfolio construction to produce long-term capital appreciation that reflects the factors emphasized by the fund. Results will vary over different periods and across factors. However, we believe that focusing on the
risk-adjusted returns of the portfolio relative to its targeted factors and the benchmark will serve investors well over time.
We thank you for your
investment and look forward to serving you in the period ahead.

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

The calculations are
based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.18%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the
annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month
period (183/365).
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 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 U.S. Multifactor Fund
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), natural or
environmental disasters, war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have
an adverse impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
A.
| The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
|
1. Security Valuation:
Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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 by
methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts:
The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a
desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is
the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and
has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin
representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued
at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures
contracts.
During the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the
period.
3. Federal Income Taxes:
The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations,
which is generally three years after the
filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the
fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions:
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending:
To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by
collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When
this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only
with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements
provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net
amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the
securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period
the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income
earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
6. Credit Facilities and
Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.4 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit
agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be
utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged
administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included
in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at an agreed-upon spread plus the higher of the federal funds effective rate,
the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate inclusive of an additional agreed-upon spread. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based
upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an
exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each
other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment
objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and
borrowings normally extend overnight but can
have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of
trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended November
30, 2022, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
B.
| In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing,
and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are
generally settled twice a month.
|
Upon the request of Vanguard,
the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At November 30, 2022, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $2,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s
net assets and less than 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C.
| Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used
to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
|
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant
unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
At November 30, 2022, 100% of
the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
D.
| Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets, if any, are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications
have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
|
Temporary differences between
book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these
differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the deferral of losses from wash sales; and the recognition
of unrealized gains or losses from certain
derivative contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard
Wellington Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard U.S. Multifactor Fund
Opinion on the Financial
Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of
assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard U.S. Multifactor Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Wellington Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund”) as of November 30,
2022, the related statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2022, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2022, including the related notes, and
the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended November 30, 2022 and for the period February 15, 2018 (inception) through November 30, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial
statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended,
the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended November 30, 2022 and for the period February
15, 2018 (inception) through November 30, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of
these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies
were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The People Who Govern Your Fund
The trustees of your mutual
fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The
Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them.
A majority of Vanguard’s
board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board
members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 206 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee
and executive officer of the fund appears below. That information, as well as the Vanguard fund count, is as of the date on the cover of this fund report. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box
876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.
