ANNUAL REPORT 1996
<PAGE>   2
In this Annual Report, I am delighted to formally introduce you to John J.
Brennan, who, on January 31, 1996, assumed my responsibilities as Chief
Executive Officer of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund and the other Funds 
in The Vanguard Group. Mr. Brennan will continue to serve as President of the 
Funds, and I will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board.

         As a shareholder of the Fund since its inception and as Chairman of
all the Vanguard Funds, I want to tell you that I am enthusiastic and confident
that Jack Brennan is exactly the right person to succeed me as Chief Executive
Officer. To use yet another Vanguard nautical metaphor, he will be the new
captain. He has the qualities of leadership, integrity, intelligence, and
vision that must continue to be Vanguard's hallmark as we move toward, and then
into, the 21st century.

         I know that he has these qualities, because Jack Brennan and I have
been working closely together since he joined Vanguard in 1982. He is a
graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Business School. He started as
Assistant to the Chairman and, rising like a rocket, became President in 1989.
While, at age 41, he may seem young, he is in fact older than I was when I
became Chief Executive Officer of Vanguard's predecessor organization in 1967,
at the age of 38. Most important of all, Jack is completely dedicated to the
Vanguard character, and believes in our basic mission: serving solely the
shareholder, free of any conflict of interest. He believes in holding our costs
of operation to a minimum, and in retaining our position as the lowest-cost
provider of financial services in the world. He is a true competitor, who
shares Vanguard's dedication to providing highly competitive returns to our
investors relative to the returns provided by other mutual funds with
comparable objectives. He also believes in reporting our results to
shareholders with complete candor. He has the full support of the Board of
Directors and our crew, and is committed to staying the course we have set for
Vanguard. You need have no doubt that the essential elements that drew you to
Vanguard in the first place will remain intact.

[FIGURE 1]

         As for me, I expect to fill a useful, if less demanding, role as
Chairman of the Board. I shall keep a watchful eye over the interests of our
shareholders, our crew, and our investment policies. I shall also speak out on
industry affairs, reminding all who will listen of the primacy of the interests
of mutual fund shareholders. I will be readily available to provide Jack
Brennan with whatever wisdom I may have acquired during my lifetime of
experience in this wonderful industry and in my service as captain of Vanguard
since I founded this unique organization more than two decades ago.

         In short, I'll still be around. Thank you for all your confidence in
me in the past and, in advance, for your continued confidence in Vanguard under
Jack Brennan's leadership.
                                                /s/ JOHN C. BOGLE

                               CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:

The bond market soared during the twelve months ended January 31, 1996,
reversing its dismal performance during our previous fiscal year, and providing
solid returns across all sectors of the market. As a result, this Annual Report
has only good news to report to the shareholders of Vanguard Fixed Income
Securities Fund.

     Each of our nine Portfolios earned double-digit returns, ranging from a
stellar gain of +26.7% for our Long-Term U.S. Treasury Portfolio to generous
gains of +11.4% to +12.0% for our three short-term Portfolios. In every case,
our tightly constructed Portfolios achieved total returns (capital change plus
reinvested dividends) that were roughly commensurate with the sectors of the
bond market that they represent. Such parallel performance is what we expect of
our Portfolios. What we did not expect was the dimension of advantage we
achieved over fixed-income mutual funds with maturity and quality standards
similar to ours. Indeed, the return of each Vanguard Portfolio exceeded
competitive norms by amounts that ranged from "substantial" to "huge."

AN OUTSTANDING YEAR FOR THE BOND MARKET

     Simply put, the bond market during the past fiscal year was just as good
(very) as the previous fiscal year was bad (also very). In fact, bond prices
not only recouped last year's lost ground, but also achieved gains that were
more than compensatory.  Looking at it from the perspective of yield levels,
interest rates at the close of January 1996 had returned to levels not seen
since the close of 1993--before their quantum leap that began in February 1994.

     Interest rates on long-term (30-year) U.S. Treasury bonds were at 7.8% on
January 31, 1995, and declined to 6.1% on January 31, 1996. Other maturities
followed suit: the yield on intermediate-term (10-year) U.S. Treasury bonds
fell from 7.8% to 5.6%, and the yield on short-term (3-year) U.S. Treasury
bonds fell from 7.5% to 5.0%. This table shows the components of return for
each of these three maturity classes:

</TABLE>

This table is presented to reinforce two principal points: (1) price volatility
increases as maturity increases (last year, enhancing bond returns; in the
prior year, hampering returns); and (2) interest income is a vital component of
total return. During a bear market for bonds, income helps to mitigate the
sharp decline in bond prices; in a bull market, income provides an important
increment to bond price increases.                                   

                                                                     (continued)

"THE EXPERTS SPEAK"

To say that the interest rate decline during the past twelve months was
unexpected is to understate the cautious market sentiment as the year began.
Early in January 1995, The Wall Street Journal published its regular poll of
some 50 learned economists and senior bond managers of large investment firms.
As a group, they forecast a yield of 7.6% on long-term U.S. Treasury bonds on
December 31, 1995, a decline of 20 basis points. In fact, as we now know, the
year-end yield was 6.0%, a decline of 180 basis points. The experts were also
wide of the mark--well, just plain wrong-- in forecasting the yield on 90-day
U.S. Treasury bills, predicting a large rise in rates, only to see rates fall
sharply. This table compares the yields they forecast with actual yields at
calendar year end:

</TABLE>

This example of failed economic forecasting is far from rare. It suggests that
bond investors should be leery of taking action on the basis of conventional
wisdom and professional qualifications.

     In all, as the earlier table shows, it was a splendid year for bonds of
all maturities. In a sense, it was the culmination of a three-year period that
contains an important slice of U.S. economic history. At the outset, the low
level of short-term interest rates that prevailed from September 1992 through
January 1994 reflected an economy that was at first in recession, and then
recovered sluggishly. By February 1994, however, the economy had moved into
higher gear, and the Federal Reserve decided it was time to put on the brakes
to avoid the risk that inflation would again rear its ugly head. The Fed
intervened by raising the Federal funds rate (the short-term rate at which
banks borrow from one another) an unprecedented seven times in the 13 ensuing
months. Taken together, these increases doubled this key rate, from 3.0% in
February 1994 to 6.0% in February 1995.

     This series of increases was designed to rein in a vibrant economy and
quell inflationary fears. The Fed apparently achieved its objective, as
inflation remained at low levels throughout this period. However, with the
economy again showing evidence of weakness by mid-1995, the Fed returned to the
offensive and lowered the Federal funds rate in July (to 5.75%), in December
(to 5.50%), and again in January 1996 (to 5.25%).

     The dramatic swings in interest rates that have marked virtually the first
six years of the 1990s, illustrated in the chart at the upper left, were
accompanied by enormous fluctuations in the prices of long-term Treasuries,
more moderate fluctuations in the prices of intermediate-term Treasuries, and
very modest price fluctuations for short-term issues. For example, the upward
rate swing in calendar 1994 drove the prices of long-term bonds down by -16%;
the ensuing recovery in 1995 sent prices right back up by +24%.

     To mitigate the high volatility that is indigenous to long-term bonds,
investors should normally hold some bonds with intermediate-term or short-term
maturities, accepting (usually) lower yields and




                                   2

(always) reduced income durability. Of course, 90-day U.S. Treasury bills are
essentially devoid of principal volatility, but only at the price of minimal
yields and even lower income durability. (Vanguard Money Market Reserves offers
a Portfolio that invests solely in short-term U.S. Treasury securities.)

VANGUARD PORTFOLIOS' OUTSTANDING RESULTS

I am happy to report that all of our Vanguard Portfolios achieved handsome
total returns during the past twelve months. A year ago, I had the unhappy duty
of reporting that six of our nine Portfolios earned negative total returns, and
the remaining three Portfolios earned returns that were barely positive (less
than +1%, including a healthy yield component). I pointed out, however, that
negative total returns were a very rare occurrence in the bond market, as we
demonstrated in an accompanying table.

     In retrospect, it occurs to me that last year's table should have shown
not only total returns (including income) but also pure capital returns
(without income). The table below rectifies that oversight. It reiterates that
negative total returns are rare. But it also shows that negative capital
returns occurred in about one-half of the years (only the Short-Term Corporate
Portfolio proved an exception to this rule). In other words, capital returns
behaved randomly, positive in about one-half of the years, negative in the
other half. This conclusion is hardly surprising in view of the fact that
interest rates seem to rise and fall at random. This table presents the
results:

I am even happier to report that each of the Fund's Portfolios, without
exception, outpaced competitive norms during our past fiscal year. Our positive
margin advantage generally increased with the length of each Portfolio's
maturity. As this table shows, our advantage was keen and consistent:

We have presented this table of relative returns in each of the past twelve
years, and we have dominated our peer groups in virtually every year. The
strong margins that we experienced in fiscal 1996 merely reinforced that
pattern, and our "success rate" remains remarkable. Of 73 year-by-year
comparisons in our Annual Reports (our Portfolios have various inception
dates), our Portfolios provided superior returns relative to competitive norms
in 62 cases, a success rate of 85%.

     As wonderful as were our relative returns during the past year, we should
note that they reflect three independent factors:

- -  First, we believe that our Portfolios, while properly placed in their
   maturity and quality groups, intentionally carried somewhat longer
   maturities than our peers (not that our peers lack the ability to lengthen
   their maturities if they wish to do so). To the extent our Portfolios hold
   longer maturities than our peers, our net asset values may rise more when
   interest rates fall (as in the past year), but





                                       3
<PAGE>   6
   decline more when interest rates rise (as in the prior year). For the two
   years combined, I should note, we enjoyed a large net advantage in each of
   our nine Portfolios.

- -  Second, we gain, I believe, a significant advantage both by the
   professionalism of our capable and experienced investment staff and by our
   policy of maintaining our maturities within clearly defined limits. In
   short, we do not make major bets on the inevitably imponderable future
   course of interest rates. (A wise course, considering the failed forecasts
   that I mentioned earlier in this letter.)

- -  Third, we hold what has proved to be a durable advantage in terms of our low
   costs, which has provided a strong enhancement in our relative returns. The
   Portfolios managed by our Vanguard Fixed Income Group incurred expense
   ratios (expenses as a percentage of average net assets) of only 0.27% last
   year; those Portfolios for which Wellington Management Company serves as
   investment adviser incurred expense ratios of about 0.31%.(1) These costs
   are far below those of 1.00% for the average fixed-income mutual fund. The
   Vanguard advantage, other factors held equal, enhances our returns by about
   0.70% annually, equivalent to an almost 15% increase in income in a bond
   portfolio which earns a gross yield of, say, 6%.

A LONGER-TERM VIEW

Suffice it to say that it is the long-term record of a fixed-income portfolio,
rather than the record in any single year, that is of the greatest significance
in evaluating performance. The charts on pages 7-11 present the long-term
picture for each of our Portfolios, showing cumulative returns for either the
past decade or since the inception of the Portfolio. The table to the right
summarizes the long-term returns of each Portfolio relative to the average
return achieved by comparable fixed-income mutual funds during the same
periods.

    reduction in their advisory fee schedule, as described on page 17 of this 
    Annual Report.

The ten-year returns illustrated cover a period that was favorable on balance
for bond funds of all types, largely because of the climate of generally
declining interest rates. We do not intend to suggest that the future absolute
returns of the Portfolios will match those of the past decade. Indeed, in light
of the relatively low yields available in the bond market today, there is
little reason to expect that future total returns will equal those in the
table. However, given our advantages of professional management, stringent
maturity and quality policies, and exceedingly low costs, we are confident that
the returns of each Portfolio will continue to be more than competitive
relative to industry norms.

   The charts on pages 7-11 also present the returns of each Portfolio's
comparable unmanaged Lehman Bond Index. We come extremely close to matching
these bond market indexes, which represent tough performance standards for all
actively managed bond funds. The reason is straightforward: indexes are merely
"paper" portfolios, existing only in computer-generated statistics and
unencumbered by the "real





                                       4

world" costs of doing business, including operating expenses, advisory fees,
and portfolio transaction costs. All mutual funds must bear these costs in
their daily activities; therefore, almost inevitably, higher cost funds must
fall short of the index returns, even if they are competently managed. (Not all
are, of course.) As the charts show, the returns of our average competitor
rarely approach those of the indexes as closely as does Vanguard's. Our claim
to fame, as it were, is that we have nearly always outpaced other fixed-income
mutual funds holding portfolios of similar quality and maturity to ours.

IN SUMMARY

The past year has been an extraordinarily productive period for each of our
nine Portfolios. It is the capstone of a splendid decade in which returns on
bond portfolios were well above historical norms. This is in itself a reason
for caution. But I feel confident that investors who use the Fund's Portfolios
as they are intended to be used--as part of a balanced asset allocation
strategy--will earn long-term returns that not only parallel the returns of the
bond market segments on which they focus, but exceed the competitive norms of
other similarly situated bond portfolios.

     A year ago, near the depths of the bond market plunge, I expressed to you
the thought that, with the generous current yields then available, "the
probabilities favor much better total returns in the coming year." That
prediction was something of an understatement, and we subsequently enjoyed
returns that were truly outstanding. I also stated that, "virtually
unequivocally, the lowest-cost bond funds will provide higher returns than the
highest-cost bond funds." That prediction, hardly surprisingly, was right on
the mark, for that is precisely what happened during the past year.

     Today, we are among the largest bond funds in the mutual fund field. All
of us at Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund appreciate the investor
confidence represented by our $22 billion asset base. We shall not let you
down. What's more, we shall, of course, maintain the professional management
and the carefully structured, high-quality and low-cost philosophy that you
have every right to expect.

In short, we shall "stay the course." A year ago, with the bond market in a
state of disarray, we urged you to stay the course as well. That proved to be
good advice then; we reiterate that advice today.

Sincerely,


/s/ JOHN C. BOGLE

   possibility that interest payments on some bonds may be reduced or
   eliminated. Also, since bonds with higher interest coupons may be replaced
   by bonds with lower coupons, income dividends are subject to reduction.

                   REPORT FROM WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT COMPANY

MARKET REVIEW

         Long-term interest rates declined seventy-five basis points (0.75%)
during the second half of the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996. The decrease
in rates came after an additional decline of the same magnitude during the
first six months of the fiscal year. The decline in rates over the past twelve
months translated into one of the strongest bond market rallies in some years
and served to offset the large price declines of 1994. The belief by long-term
fixed-income investors that the monetary authorities were succeeding in their
efforts to contain inflation at a time when the economy was slowing contributed
significantly to the decline in rates during the fiscal year. As economic
weakness developed, the Federal Reserve lowered short-term interest rates three
times.

         Additional reductions in short-term rates will be necessary to keep
economic growth from slowing further. Despite the recent reduction in the
Federal funds rate, its level is over 3% in real terms. Bank reserves are
declining, and money growth is decelerating. With this backdrop, continued soft
economic data, low inflation, and eventually a constructive fiscal package will
likely compel the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates several more times in
1996. The yield spreads on corporate bonds have remained narrow, implying that
the additional reward for investors who assume the risk of corporate securities
is not very generous.  We find this phenomenon surprising since several of the
recently announced mega-mergers are going to use a greater percentage of debt
than similar mergers that have occurred in the past three years. Bond investors
rationalize that these business combinations make strategic sense and that the
additional debt will be paid down rapidly. Although we may agree with this
rationale, yield premiums should be wider to compensate for the additional
leverage.

         While we do not expect another significant move down in long-term
rates, we also do not foresee any major upward pressure on rates. Bonds in
almost all sectors still seem reasonably priced given our outlook of low
inflation and moderate growth. We slightly favor mortgage-backed securities
given their relative underperformance in 1995. As noted above, corporate yield
premiums are somewhat narrow for this point in the economic cycle and therefore
are less attractive.

GNMA PORTFOLIO

As the economy weakened during the second half of the year, intermediate-term
interest rates declined sharply. These declines in interest rates provided the
GNMA Portfolio with a reasonable amount of price appreciation in addition to a
healthy level of income.  This performance came in spite of the risk of a drag
on performance caused by homeowners refinancing their mortgages at lower
interest rate levels, which would result in prepayments on GNMA pools. We have
now reached a level of interest rates that is low enough that we must consider
the possibility that refinancing and prepayments will ratchet up another notch
should interest rates fall farther. We have tried to insulate the Portfolio as
much as possible from such a possibility; however, all mortgage securities
portfolios are exposed to some degree to the negative effects of refinancing.

         On the positive side, the GNMA securities held in the Portfolio offer
substantially more yield than other securities of comparable quality. In other
words, investors are being compensated in yield for the possible, but not
definite, effects of homeowner refinancing. In our view, the odds favor a
further interest rate decline of only modest proportions, and therefore, our
expectation is that the GNMA Portfolio will provide its shareholders with
attractive levels of both income and total return.

LONG-TERM CORPORATE PORTFOLIO

The Long-Term Corporate Portfolio's average maturity is slightly over 20 years
as it pursues its charter as a long-term corporate bond fund. As a result of
its long average maturity, the Portfolio's net asset value rose sharply as
rates continued to fall over the past six months. The Portfolio has maintained
its excellent call protection which means that many of our higher-coupon
securities cannot be redeemed by their issuers at today's lower rates. Thus,
the Portfolio's income stream has some protection from falling interest rates.

         The major risk to this Portfolio, which was evident in 1994, is a rise
in long-term interest rates.

                                                                     (continued)





                                       13
<PAGE>   16
Over 50% of the Portfolio is currently invested (and is intended always to be
so) in corporate bonds with an average maturity longer than 15 years. Cash is
minimal. The duration of the Portfolio is approximately eight years which
implies that the principal value of the bonds could change 8% with a parallel
shift in interest rates of 1%. Thus, if interest rates continue to be as
volatile as they have been over the last two years, the Portfolio's net asset
value can change dramatically.

         The second risk inherent in this Portfolio, which is always present,
is credit deterioration. Over 90% of the value of the Portfolio is invested in
issues rated "A" or better, and at no time do we expect more than 20% of the
assets to be in Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. There are no
below-investment-grade corporate bonds currently in the Portfolio. At this
mature stage of the economic cycle, rating downgrades could increase while
upgrades decrease. Our focus going forward will be on less economically
sensitive issuers whose sales and cash flows are not as relatively volatile. We
also emphasize well-established larger companies with stable to improving
fundamentals. The Portfolio does not own any bonds denominated in foreign
currencies which can be more influenced by currency movements than by interest
rates.

HIGH YIELD CORPORATE PORTFOLIO

The below-investment-grade market had a surprisingly strong year since it
matched the high-grade market during a period of sharply falling interest
rates. Below-investment-grade bonds usually underperform higher-quality bonds
in an environment where investors are anticipating sluggish growth and when
interest rates are falling. The below-investment-grade market is somewhat more
concerned now than six months ago that the economy is slowing. The Federal
Reserve lowered short-term interest rates twice in the second half of 1995
which normally would ease the fears of a recession. The concern now in the
high-yield bond market is that the Federal Reserve has not proceeded quickly
enough to prevent further credit deterioration. We expect the economic growth
rate for 1996 to be reasonably positive. Thus we do not anticipate any major
problems in the economy that would cause this Portfolio to underperform
higher-quality securities over the next twelve months. As lower-rated borrowers
are usually the first to have their credit lines curtailed in a recession, we
must be particularly sensitive to the health of the economy. As long as the
equity market remains strong, fueled by growing sales and profits, high-yield
issuers will also be able to raise money in the stock market to reduce debt or
to fund capital expenditures.

         As in the Long-Term Corporate Portfolio, another phenomenon we are
watching is the constant merger and acquisition activity. Several large
investment-grade companies have announced mega-mergers with a heavy reliance on
debt financing. As a result of these corporate combinations, several new
"fallen angels" have become available in the below-investment-grade market.
Recent emphasis in the Portfolio has focused on these larger companies. Our
expectation in the purchase of such issuers as Westinghouse Electric and
Northrop Grumman is that the downgrades in the ratings will be temporary as the
new companies cut costs and shed non-strategic assets. The relative prices of
the securities should improve over time as the realization of these strategies
occurs.

         The Portfolio's holdings continue to be focused on cash-paying issues
rated "B" or better. We continue to exercise in-depth credit research on a
company-by-company basis and to emphasize diversification in the Portfolio's
construction. The Portfolio currently owns over 100 issuers representing a
fairly broad range of industries and companies. In addition, we continue to
maintain a Treasury reserve in the event that such liquidity is necessary.

                    REPORT FROM VANGUARD FIXED INCOME GROUP

IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS

         A confluence of favorable events propelled bond and note prices
sharply higher over the past fiscal year. The rally in bonds reached all
issuing sectors and all maturities, thus lifting the net asset values of your
Portfolios generally in direct proportion to their intrinsic exposure to the
market. The Long-Term Treasury Portfolio (Vanguard's most market-volatile bond
portfolio) rose +18.7% in price over the fiscal year which, combined with +8.0%
in dividends, produced a total return of +26.7%.  Similarly, the
Intermediate-Term and Short-Term Treasury Portfolios rose in net asset value by
+11.7% and +4.8% over the twelve months ending January 31, 1996. Combined with
their dividends, these Portfolios' total returns summed to a "none too shabby"
+19.0% and +11.4%, respectively. Our Corporate and Federal Portfolios performed
roughly in-line with their respective Treasury brethren.

         The recovery in bond prices effectively eliminated the damage done in
1994 when interest rates rose sharply. Bondholders who stuck with it over the
bleak 1994 period got their just rewards in 1995 and early this year. Indeed,
the bond price rally over the past twelve months is the frothiest and most
exuberant since 1985. (Performance details are given in the Chairman's letter.)
Suffice it to say, we enjoyed a great year and are not apt to see its like for
quite some time. It is very difficult to imagine what the bond market will be
able to give us for an encore.

THE MAKING OF A BOND MARKET BLOW-OUT

The dramatic turnaround in bond returns, from a dismal 1994 to a euphoric 1995,
found its antecedents in both the movements in the national economy and the
nation's Central Bank reaction to those movements. Recall that in early 1994 it
appeared that the economy and inflation were overheating. Real Gross Domestic
Product was growing at a 4% annual rate, commodity prices were accelerating,
manufacturing capacity utilization was nudging into territory historically
associated with supply shortages, and the unemployment rate was falling
rapidly. The Federal Reserve Bank policymakers reacted to these somewhat
alarming symptoms with steady and graduated dosages of monetary restraint.
Between February 1994 and February 1995, the Federal Reserve initiated seven
separate operations to force short-term interest rates higher. This
prescription was designed to raise the cost of borrowing and thereby slow down
the rate of economic expansion. The economy's excessive vigor and the Fed's
response were (and are) widely regarded as the principal causes of the 1994
bond market selloff. The good news is that by early 1995 it began to appear
that the Fed's medicine was finally working.

         By February 1995, short-term interest rates had been pushed a total of
three percentage points higher (from 3% to 6%) while long-term interest rates
had risen from about 6% to nearly 8%. Needless to say, rising interest rates
create a directly opposed effect on bond prices, and these yield movements are
synonymous with the malaise of 1994. Fortunately, the economy slowed in 1995 to
growth levels deemed by the Fed to be desirable. What constitutes desirability?
There is no definitive answer; however, many economists believe that the
economy can grow sustainably between 2% to 3% annually without causing an
acceleration in inflation.  Alternatively, they believe there is a "natural"
unemployment rate below which lies the likelihood of increased inflationary
pressures. The 1995 economic story was one of growth and unemployment at
acceptable non-inflationary levels. The fabled "soft landing" had at long last
arrived. This was all the markets needed to fuel a bond rally majestic in both
size and duration. Looking back, we can visualize each of the last two years as
having a sharply etched and satisfyingly compensatory symmetry.

VANGUARD FIXED INCOME FUND PORTFOLIOS

The Fixed Income Group at Vanguard manages six of the nine Portfolios of the
Fixed Income Securities Fund. As you know, each Portfolio represents a basket
of bonds/notes that have internally similar risk and return characteristics to
one another; but by design and structure are quite different from one basket to
the next. The principal difference is their intrinsic market risk.
Specifically, the Portfolios designated "Short-Term" have approximately one
half the volatility in net asset value as those Portfolios designated
"Intermediate." Moreover, the





                                       15
<PAGE>   18
"Intermediate" Portfolios' net asset values will fluctuate in price about half
as much (for a given change in interest rates) as Vanguard Portfolios
designated "Long." Completing the analogy reveals that Vanguard's "Short"
Portfolios are about 25% as volatile as Vanguard's "Long" Portfolios.

         Since we tend to manage our market risk exposures with moderate
adjustments at the margin, these proportionalities are relatively consistent
over time and represent useful rules of thumb. By observing the yield
differences among short, intermediate, and long portfolios, the astute investor
can assess an important aspect of the market's tradeoffs between prospective
return and risk. At the end of the fiscal year, the bond markets permitted
funds to offer about 0.4% additional yield for each doubling of intrinsic
market risk.

         The other principal differentiating characteristic associated with
Vanguard Fixed Income Fund Portfolios is that of credit quality. With the
exception of the High Yield Portfolio, Vanguard offers Portfolios whose
exposures to default risk vary from virtually nil (Treasury and Federal agency
issues) to low (investment-grade corporate bonds), for each of the
aforementioned market risk categories (short, intermediate, and long). Again,
each of these Portfolios is managed so it doesn't "overlap" appreciably with
its neighbor, and so it does offer a discernible trade-off in credit risk and
incremental return.

         The Portfolios we manage that are permitted to hold corporate bonds
have gravitated toward the middle and lower end of the investment-grade
ratings, thereby garnering additional income for shareholders. At fiscal year
end, the credit risk tradeoffs between the Corporate and Treasury Portfolios
stood at about 0.5% for each market risk sector.

DOUBLING YOUR MONEY

The rally in bond prices (and concomitant drop in interest rates) is anything
but an unmixed blessing. Reinvestment of dividends or net new investment of
savings must now occur at appreciably lower and less productive yields. If we
were viewing the investment landscape as a gardener might view his acreage, we
would say the "soil" has been badly depleted. In 1994, an investor could take a
dollar of savings, buy a Treasury bond at 8% and, through compounding (at the
same rate), effectively double the investment in nine years. Today, at 6%, our
hypothetical investor needs twelve years to double the same dollar. With 5%
interest rates it takes almost fifteen years. One can administer some
"fertilizer" in the form of increased credit risk exposure (producing as noted,
about 0.5% more yield), but that doesn't really restore much of the market's
lost compounding productivity.

         The problem for prospective bond returns is similar to the problem we
now face for prospective stock returns. If your bond fund or stock dividend
yields are low, your returns will necessarily be low unless prices move higher.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to imagine inflation getting that much better
than the past decade's 3.5% annualized rate or interest rates heading much
lower than the prevailing 5% to 6%.

YIELDS, COSTS, AND TIME

If interest rates were still 9% (as they were in 1989), Vanguard's expense
ratio advantage of roughly +0.75% over the average competitive fund would only
represent about one month's worth of income. In today's 5% to 6% interest rate
environment, the identical 0.75% advantage represents almost two months worth
of income. Consequently, if you invest with the average competitor rather than
with Vanguard, your money is effectively idle for January and February of each
and every year. We applaud your decision to invest with us and keep your money
working for a full 366 days this year and thereafter. Naturally, we also will
endeavor to squeeze as much incremental return as our conservative policies and
these potentially inhospitable markets permit.

Sincerely,

Ian A. MacKinnon, Senior Vice President

                         SPECIAL NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

NEW AGREEMENT TO REDUCE INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES

We are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors of Vanguard Fixed Income
Securities Fund has reached an agreement with Wellington Management Company
(WMC), the investment adviser for three of the Fund's nine Portfolios, on a
revised investment advisory agreement. WMC provides portfolio management
services for the Long-Term Corporate, GNMA, and High Yield Corporate
Portfolios.

         The revised agreement involves a reduction in the annual rate of
advisory fees to be paid to WMC. At the current asset level of the three
Portfolios ($13.4 billion), the dollar amount of the annual fee would decline
from $4,442,000 to $3,238,000, a reduction of $1,204,000. The new effective
annual fee rate would equal 0.024% of current assets and would decline further
if WMC-managed assets were to continue to grow.

         Under the terms of the new agreement, the Fund will pay WMC a basic
advisory fee at the end of each fiscal quarter based on the WMC-managed
Portfolios' average month-end net assets during the quarter. The quarterly rate
is applied according to the following annual fee schedules:

This revised investment advisory agreement replaces the current agreement with
the adviser dated May 31, 1993, and will go into effect on May 1, 1996. Until
the effective date, the adviser has agreed to waive its advisory fees to the
extent necessary to abide by the new fee schedule. For the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1996, the Fund paid approximately $3,743,000 to WMC for investment
advisory services.

         The adviser, located at 75 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts, is a
professional investment advisory firm which globally provides investment
services to investment companies, institutions, and individuals. Among the
clients of WMC are 12 investment companies of The Vanguard Group. Under the
terms of its investment advisory agreement with the Fund, the adviser agrees to
manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Portfolios and to
continuously review, supervise, and administer the Portfolios' investment
programs. The adviser discharges its responsibilities subject to the control of
the officers and directors of the Fund.

                       TOTAL INVESTMENT RETURN TABLES

The following tables illustrate the results of single-share investments in
VANGUARD FIXED INCOME SECURITIES Fund through January 31, 1996. The percentage
figures show results on a "total return" basis and assume the reinvestment of
both income dividends and any capital gains distributions. During the periods
illustrated, bond prices fluctuated widely; these results should not be
considered a representation of the dividend income or capital gain or loss that
may be realized from an investment made in the Portfolios today.

A VANGUARD GLOSSARY--QUALITY RATINGS

Aaa      Judged to be the best quality, carrying the smallest degree of
         investment risk. U.S. Government and Agency Securities are considered
         to have Aaa ratings.
Aa       Judged to be of high quality by all standards.
A        Possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered
         as higher medium-grade obligations.
Baa      Considered to be medium-grade obligations, neither highly protected
         nor poorly secured.
Ba       Judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered
         as well-assured.
B        Generally lacks characteristics of the desirable investment.
Caa      Poor standing; may be in default.
N.R.     Not Rated.
Note:    Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2, and 3, in each generic
         rating classification from Aa through Baa in its corporate bond rating
         system. The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher
         end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a
         mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks
         in the lower end of its generic rating category.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end investment company and consists
of the Long-Term U.S. Treasury, Long-Term Corporate, High Yield Corporate,
GNMA, Intermediate-Term Corporate, Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury, Short-Term
Federal, Short-Term U.S. Treasury, and Short-Term Corporate Portfolios. Certain
investments of the Long-Term Corporate, High Yield Corporate, Intermediate-Term
Corporate, and Short-Term Corporate Portfolios are in corporate debt
instruments; the issuers' abilities to meet these obligations may be affected
by economic developments in their respective industries.

A.   The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of financial
statements.

1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities are valued utilizing the latest bid prices
   and on the basis of a matrix system (which considers such factors as
   security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by
   independent pricing services. Temporary cash investments are valued at
   amortized cost which approximates market value.

2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Each Portfolio of the Fund intends to continue to
   qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable
   income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in
   the financial statements.

3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Fund, along with other members of The Vanguard
   Group of Investment Companies, transfers uninvested cash balances into a
   Pooled Cash Account, the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase
   agreements secured by U.S.  Government obligations. Securities pledged as
   collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until
   maturity of each repurchase agreement. Provisions of the agreement require
   that the market value of the collateral is sufficient in the event of
   default; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party
   to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be
   subject to legal proceedings.

4. FUTURES: The Long-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Short-Term U.S. Treasury
   Portfolios and the Intermediate-Term and Short-Term Corporate Portfolios
   utilize Municipal Bond Index, U.S. Treasury Bond, and U.S. Treasury Note
   futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of enhancing
   returns, managing interest rate risk, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing
   transaction costs. The Portfolios may purchase futures contracts instead of
   bonds when futures contracts are believed to be priced more attractively
   than bonds. The Portfolios may also seek to take advantage of price
   differences among bond market sectors by simultaneously buying futures (or
   bonds) of one market sector and selling futures (or bonds) of another
   sector. Futures contracts may also be used to simulate a fully invested
   position in the underlying bonds 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 bonds held by the Portfolios
   and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid
   market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily
   settlement prices. Fluctuations in the values of futures contracts are
   recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated at which
   time realized gains (losses) are recognized. Unrealized appreciation
   (depreciation) related to open futures contracts is required to be treated
   as realized gain (loss) for Federal income tax purposes.

5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities
   are purchased or sold. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
   on sales of investment securities are those of specific securities sold.
   Discounts and premiums on





                                       40

   securities purchased are amortized to interest income over the lives of the
   respective securities. Distributions from net investment income are declared
   on a daily basis payable on the first business day of the following month.
   Annual distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the
   ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis
   and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes
   depending on the timing of realization of gains.

B.   Under the terms of a contract expiring May 1, 1996, the Fund pays
Wellington Management Company for investment advisory services performed for
the Long-Term Corporate, High Yield Corporate, and GNMA Portfolios at a fee
calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year
ended January 31, 1996, the investment advisory fees of the Long-Term
Corporate, High Yield Corporate, and GNMA Portfolios represent effective annual
rates of .04 of 1%, .06 of 1%, and .02 of 1% of average net assets,
respectively, after giving effect to fee waivers of $118,000, $145,000 (.01 of
1%), and $127,000, respectively.

The Vanguard Group, Inc. furnishes investment advisory services to the
Intermediate-Term and Short-Term Corporate, Short-Term Federal, and the
Long-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Short-Term U.S. Treasury Portfolios on an
at-cost basis.

C.   The Vanguard Group, Inc. furnishes at cost corporate management,
administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such
services are allocated to the Fund under methods approved by the Board of
Directors. At January 31, 1996, the Fund had contributed capital of $2,499,000
to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 12.5% of Vanguard's
capitalization. The Fund's directors and officers are also directors and
officers of Vanguard.

D.   During the year ended January 31, 1996, purchases and sales of investment
securities, other than U.S. Government securities and temporary cash
investments, were:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund
GNMA Portfolio

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the GNMA Portfolio of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund (the "Fund") at
January 31, 1996, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net
assets and the financial highlights for each of the respective periods
presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of
securities at January 31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers
and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from
brokers were not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

We have also audited the financial statements of the other Portfolios included
in the Fund at January 31, 1996, and we have issued an unqualified opinion
thereon. An insert to this Annual Report containing our report on the financial
statements of the other Portfolios is available from the Fund.

ON OUR COVER: On the evening of August 1, 1798, Lord Horatio Nelson sailed his
flagship, HMS Vanguard, into Egypt's Aboukir Bay. In a night encounter, the
British fleet annihilated Napoleon Bonaparte's ships of the line in what is
still considered to be the most complete victory ever recorded in naval
history. Our Report's cover illustration is Thomas Luny's 1830 painting, The
Battle Of The Nile, in which the French flagship, L'Orient, is shown as it
exploded at 10:00 p.m. under a gibbous moon.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund
Long-Term U.S. Treasury, Long-Term Corporate, High Yield Corporate,
Intermediate-Term Corporate, Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury, Short-Term
Federal, Short-Term U.S. Treasury and Short-Term Corporate Portfolios

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the  financial
highlights appearing in the Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund (the "Fund")
1996 Annual Report (the "Annual Report") present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Long-Term U.S. Treasury, Long-Term
Corporate, High Yield Corporate, Intermediate-Term Corporate, Intermediate-Term
U.S. Treasury, Short-Term Federal, Short-Term U.S. Treasury and Short-Term
Corporate Portfolios of the Fund at January 31, 1996, and the results of each
of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial
highlights for each of the respective periods presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities by correspondence with
the custodians and brokers and the application of alternative auditing
procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

We have also audited the financial statements of the GNMA Portfolio of the Fund
at January 31, 1996, and we have issued an unqualified opinion thereon. The
Annual Report containing our report on the financial statements of the GNMA
Portfolio is available from the Fund.
