Please note: The opinions expressed in this report are just that—informed opinions. They should not be considered promisesor advice. Also, please keep in mind that the information and opinions cover the period through the date on the front of thisreport. Of course, the risks of investing in your fund are spelled out in the prospectus.
Important information about access to shareholder reports
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by theSecurities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of your fund’s annual andsemiannual shareholder reports will no longer be sent to you by mail, unless youspecifically request them. Instead, you will be notified by mail each time a reportis posted on the website and will be provided with a link to access the report.
If you have already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will notbe affected by this change and do not need to take any action. You may elect toreceive shareholder reports and other communications from the fund electronicallyby contacting your financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) or, if youinvest directly with the fund, by calling Vanguard at one of the phone numbers onthe back cover of this report or by logging on to vanguard.com.
You may elect to receive paper copies of all future shareholder reports freeof charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact theintermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies. If you investdirectly with the fund, you can call Vanguard at one of the phone numbers on theback cover of this report or log on to vanguard.com. Your election to receive papercopies will apply to all the funds you hold through an intermediary or directly withVanguard.
Recent volatility in financial markets—affecting stocks, bonds, and commodities— has been a good reminder of the wise old adage, “Never keep all your eggs in one basket.” Maintaining balance and diversification in your investment portfolio can help to both limit risk and set you up for long-term success.
It’s understandable why some investors might become complacent after a long market run-up like the one that lifted stock prices, especially U.S. stock prices, in the years following the global financial crisis. But failing to rebalance regularly can leave a portfolio with a much different mix of assets than intended and, often, more risk than intended.
Balance across and diversification within asset classes are powerful tools for managing risk and achieving your investment goals. A portfolio’s allocation will determine a large portion of its long- term return and also the majority of its volatility risk. A well-diversified portfolio is less vulnerable to significant swings in the performance of any one segment of the asset classes in which it invests.
Balance and diversification will never eliminate the risk of loss, nor will they guarantee positive returns in a declining market. But they may reduce the chance that you’ll suffer disproportionate losses in one particular high-flying asset class or sector when it comes back to earth. And exposure to all key market components should give you at least some participation in the sectors that are performing best at any given time.
Vanguard is committed to helping you achieve balance and diversification in your portfolios to help meet your invest-ment goals. We thank you for your continued loyalty.
Sincerely,
Mortimer J. Buckley Chairman and Chief Executive Officer January 23, 2020

About Your Fund’s Expenses
3
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 sellingsecurities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account servicefees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costswould 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 mayhave been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of anypurchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in theFinancial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses andother 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 forthat period are: for the Growth Index Fund, 0.17% for Investor Shares, 0.04% for ETF Shares, 0.05% for Admiral Shares, and 0.04% forInstitutional Shares; for the Value Index Fund, 0.17% for Investor Shares, 0.04% for ETF Shares, 0.05% for Admiral Shares, and 0.04% forInstitutional Shares; and for the Large-Cap Index Fund, 0.17% for Investor Shares, 0.04% for ETF Shares, 0.05% for Admiral Shares, and0.04% for Institutional Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by theaverage account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the numberof days in the most recent 12-month period (184/365).
Performance Summary
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher thanthe performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visitour 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
Growth Index Fund
Vanguard Growth Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an
open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers four classes of shares: Investor
Shares, ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Each of the share classes has different
eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF
Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
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 materially 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 board of trustees to represent
fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
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.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of
maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs.
The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell
futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying
index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The 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 assets pledged as initial margin
for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the
contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts
are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations
as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as
realized futures gains (losses).
During the year ended December 31, 2019, 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.
20
Growth Index Fund
3. Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on
selected reference stocks in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives
the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of
the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected
referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the
value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity
swap contract. The fund also pays a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied
to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund generally invests an amount approximating the
notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. 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 Net Assets as an asset (liability) and
in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until termination of the swap,
at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
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 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 Statement of Net Assets.
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.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return
swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each
quarter-end during the period.
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company
and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for
all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision
for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions
are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains
for financial reporting purposes.
21
Growth Index Fund
6. 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 Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period
the securities are on loan. 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.
7. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”)
participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to
a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings,
if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes,
and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating
funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn
amount of the facility; these fees 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 this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the
higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight
bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2019, or at any time during the period
then ended.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income
distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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.
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
22
Growth Index Fund
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. 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. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs
of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability
for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.
All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard 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 December 31, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of
$4,437,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.77% 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. 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 valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of
December 31, 2019, 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 in-kind redemptions and swap
agreements were reclassified between the following accounts:
Amount
($000)
Paid-in Capital 3,230,685
Total Distributable Earnings (Loss) (3,230,685)
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 tax deferral of losses on wash sales; the realization of
unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts and swap agreements. 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 23,626
Undistributed Long-Term Gains —
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring) (2,534,635)
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) 48,767,313
As of December 31, 2019, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for investments and
derivatives based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Amount
($000)
Tax Cost 52,963,527
Gross Unrealized Appreciation 49,512,619
Gross Unrealized Depreciation (745,306)
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) 48,767,313
E. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fund purchased $18,394,478,000 of
investment securities and sold $16,465,804,000 of investment securities, other than temporary
cash investments. Purchases and sales include $8,430,613,000 and $7,039,641,000, 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
24
Growth Index Fund
ended December 31, 2019, such purchases and sales were $1,239,100,000 and $4,457,532,000,
respectively; these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities
noted above.
F. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

1 In November 2018, the fund announced changes to the availability and minimum investment criteria of the Investor and Admiral share classes. As a result, all of the outstanding Investor Shares automatically converted to Admiral Shares beginning in April 2019, with the exception of those held by Vanguard funds and certain other institutional investors. Investor Shares—Redeemed and Admiral Shares—Issued include 30,063,000 and 30,069,000 shares, respectively, in the amount of $2,572,238,000 from the conversion during the year ended December 31, 2019.
G. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to
December 31, 2019, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
Value Index Fund
Vanguard Value Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an
open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers four classes of shares: Investor
Shares, ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Each of the share classes has different
eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF
Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
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 materially 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 board of trustees to represent
fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
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.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives
of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction
costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market,
or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the
underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The 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 assets pledged as initial margin
for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the
contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts
are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations
as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as
realized futures gains (losses).
During the year ended December 31, 2019, 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.
42
Value Index Fund
3. Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on
selected reference stocks in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives
the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of
the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected
referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the
value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity
swap contract. The fund also pays a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied
to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund generally invests an amount approximating the
notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. 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 Net Assets as an asset (liability) and
in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until termination of the swap,
at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
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 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 Statement of Net Assets.
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.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return
swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each
quarter-end during the period.
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company
and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for
all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision
for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions
are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains
for financial reporting purposes.
43
Value Index Fund
6. 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 Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period
the securities are on loan. 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.
7. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”)
participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to
a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings,
if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes,
and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating
funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn
amount of the facility; these fees 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 this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the
higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight
bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2019, or at any time during the period
then ended.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income
distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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.
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
44
Value Index Fund
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. 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. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of
operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability
for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.
All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard 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 December 31, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of
$4,004,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.60% 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. 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 valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of
December 31, 2019, 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 in-kind redemptions and swap
agreements were reclassified between the following accounts:
Amount
($000)
Paid-in Capital 2,600,682
Total Distributable Earnings (Loss) (2,600,682)
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 tax deferral of losses on wash sales; the realization of
unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts, and swap agreements. 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 28,164
Undistributed Long-Term Gains —
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring) (1,465,507)
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) 21,777,334
As of December 31, 2019, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for investments and
derivatives based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Amount
($000)
Tax Cost 69,268,907
Gross Unrealized Appreciation 24,189,907
Gross Unrealized Depreciation (2,412,573)
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) 21,777,334
E. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fund purchased $21,837,069,000 of
investment securities and sold $16,052,486,000 of investment securities, other than temporary
cash investments. Purchases and sales include $9,895,580,000 and $6,489,626,000, 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
46
Value Index Fund
ended December 31, 2019, such purchases and sales were $3,819,121,000 and $1,857,206,000,
respectively; these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities
noted above.
F. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

1 In November 2018, the fund announced changes to the availability and minimum investment criteria of the Investor and Admiral share classes. As a result, all of the outstanding Investor Shares automatically converted to Admiral Shares beginning in April 2019, with the exception of those held by Vanguard funds and certain other institutional investors. Investor Shares—Redeemed and Admiral Shares—Issued include 26,970,000 and 26,976,000 shares, respectively, in the amount of $1,174,229,000 from the conversion during the year ended December 31, 2019.
G. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to
December 31, 2019, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
Large-Cap Index Fund
Vanguard Large-Cap Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an
open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers four classes of shares: Investor
Shares, ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Each of the share classes has different
eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF
Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
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 materially 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 board of trustees to
represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net
asset value. 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.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of
maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs.
The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell
futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying
index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The 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 assets pledged as initial margin
for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the
contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts
are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations
as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as
realized futures gains (losses).
During the year ended December 31, 2019, 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.
66
Large-Cap Index Fund
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company
and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for
all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision
for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions
are determined on a tax basis 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 Net Assets for the return of the
collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. 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 Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”)
participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to
a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings,
if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes,
and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating
funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn
amount of the facility; these fees 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 this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the
higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight
bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2019, or at any time during the period
then ended.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income
distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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
67
Large-Cap Index Fund
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.
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. 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. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of
operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability
for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.
All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard 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 December 31, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of
$1,123,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.45% 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. 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 valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of
December 31, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

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 in-kind redemptions were
reclassified between the following accounts:
Amount
($000)
Paid-in Capital 390,342
Total Distributable Earnings (Loss) (390,342)
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 tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the realization
of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures 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 6,312
Undistributed Long-Term Gains —
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring) (260,027)
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) 10,354,473
As of December 31, 2019, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for investments and
derivatives based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Amount
($000)
Tax Cost 15,282,788
Gross Unrealized Appreciation 10,828,790
Gross Unrealized Depreciation (474,317)
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) 10,354,473
E. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fund purchased $2,655,742,000 of investment
securities and sold $1,758,407,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
Purchases and sales include $818,507,000 and $599,283,000, 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
December 31, 2019, such purchases and sales were $226,421,000 and $213,935,000, respectively;
these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

1 In November 2018, the fund announced changes to the availability and minimum investment criteria of the Investor and Admiral share classes. As a result, all of the outstanding Investor Shares automatically converted to Admiral Shares beginning in April 2019, with the exception of those held by Vanguard funds and certain other institutional investors. Investor Shares—Redeemed and Admiral Shares—Issued include 6,632,000 and 5,304,000 shares, respectively, in the amount of $365,488,000 from the conversion during the year ended December 31, 2019.
G. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to
December 31, 2019, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Fund, Vanguard Value Index Fund and Vanguard Large-Cap Index Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Vanguard Growth Index Fund,
Vanguard Value Index Fund and Vanguard Large-Cap Index Fund (three of the funds constituting
Vanguard Index Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2019,
the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the
related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31,
2019 (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 December 31,
2019, 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 December 31, 2019 and each of the financial
highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2019 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 December 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement
to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; 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
213 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
