                           A MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS


FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:

After a remarkably robust rise in 1995, the bond market suffered a sharp
setback during the six months ended July 31, 1996, the first half of Vanguard
Fixed Income Securities Fund's current fiscal year. Interest rates rose
substantially for all but the very shortest maturities and fixed-income
securities gave back some of the price gains they enjoyed over the previous 13
months or so.

       Not surprisingly, our tightly constructed Portfolios achieved total
returns (capital change plus reinvested dividends) very much in line with the
sectors of the bond market that they represent. Our three Short-Term Portfolios
and our High Yield Portfolio eked out small positive returns during the six
months, while our two Long-Term Portfolios were off from -5% to -7%. True to
form, our Intermediate-Term Portfolios provided returns that fell between the
two ends of the maturity spectrum. This table presents the return for each
Portfolio for the half year, as well as its current yield:

The detailed per share figures for each Portfolio, including net asset values,
income dividends, and any distributions from net realized capital gains, are
shown in the table on page 3 of this Report.

         As we noted a year ago, in a very different environment for the bond
market, we believe that a presentation of semi-annual returns for bond mutual
funds, while necessary in a report of this nature, is incomplete, to say the
least. Only half of the year's interest income is accounted for in these
returns, while the capital change in a bond fund--up or down--occurs
immediately in response to changes in market interest rates. Yet over the long
run, interest income has accounted for virtually 100% of the total return on
bond funds. The following table presents the return of each Portfolio for the
past twelve months, divided into its income and capital components:

</TABLE>

This table provides a sense of the relative price volatility of each Portfolio.
However, the table does not present a full picture of price volatility, since
the rise in interest rates over the twelve months ended July 31, 1996, was not
uniform across all maturity levels. The yield on three-year and ten-year U.S.
Treasury securities, for example, rose by about 40 basis points (0.4 percentage
points), while the yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond rose by less
than 20 basis points. We remind you that an equal change--up or down--in
interest rates has a much greater impact on the capital returns of bonds with
long maturities than on the capital returns of bonds with short maturities.

                                                                     (continued)

THE PERIOD IN REVIEW

After a stupendous showing by the bond market in the fiscal year ended January
31, 1996, with double-digit returns across the maturity spectrum, perhaps it
was only natural for the bond market to retrace some of its gains in the first
half of this fiscal year.

       While the rate on 90-day Treasury bills rose by about one-quarter of a
percentage point (from 5.0% to 5.3%), the increase in interest rates was much
sharper for bonds during the past six months. The biggest change, curiously,
was in short-term Treasury bonds (three-year maturities), whose average yield
rose from 5.0% to 6.3%. Yields on intermediate-term Treasury bonds rose from
5.6% to 6.8%, while the yield on the benchmark long-term Treasury bond rose
from 6.0% to 7.0%.

       Although the yield increases in the three maturity ranges were similar
(+1.3% to +1.0%) over the past six months, the price changes were not. As we
have emphasized in past reports, the impact of changing yields on bond prices
is magnified as a bond's maturity lengthens. For example, in the face of a 1%
increase (or decrease) in yield, the price of a long-term bond will move down
(or up) by about 10%, while the price of a short-term bond will move down (or
up) by roughly 2%. This relationship reflects the immutable mathematics of the
bond market. As unsettling as the -12% price decline in long-term bonds was
during the six months ended July 31, we would note that it was roughly half the
price increase that holders of 30-year Treasury bonds enjoyed in the previous
year.

       Interest-rate changes are easier to quantify than to explain, of course.
Most analysts, however, have attributed the recent increase to surprisingly
strong growth in the U.S. economy, which raised anxiety among bond investors
that inflation would rise from the fairly benign levels of recent years. Bond
investors are hypersensitive to the possibility of higher inflation, which
could threaten the purchasing power of a bond's future fixed-rate payments.
Should inflation rise from today's level, it is possible--even probable--that
the Federal Reserve Board would act to raise short-term interest rates. It
remains to be seen what the Fed--or the economy--will do. However, the current
structure and level of interest rates seem to anticipate some reasonable pickup
in inflation, and bond investors may well have already adjusted to such a
scenario.

       We would note that the prevailing consensus of the bond market--as with
any financial market--is subject to rapid and unpredictable changes in
direction. Only six months ago, the "experts" were in general agreement that
economic growth was proceeding at a deliberate and safe pace so that inflation
would remain subdued, and that interest rates should remain steady. However,
the consensus--so often wrong--proved wrong again as rates moved higher.

IN SUMMARY

Six months ago in Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund's Annual Report, we
noted that the unusually high total returns on bonds last year--and, indeed,
over the previous decade--were by themselves a sufficient reason to be cautious
about the outlook for future returns. Yet we expressed confidence that
investors who use our Portfolios as part of a balanced asset allocation
strategy would earn long-term returns in keeping with the bond market segments
on which the Portfolios focus, and that exceed the averages for competitive
funds. We also believe that the higher yields available today have increased
the relative attractiveness of bonds. We assure you that we will continue to
professionally manage our Portfolios under the carefully structured,
high-quality, low-cost philosophy for which Vanguard is known.

Sincerely,

*   High Yield Corporate Portfolio yield reflects a premium based on the
    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.

The following tables illustrate the results of single-share investments in
VANGUARD FIXED INCOME SECURITIES FUND through July 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.

                   REPORT FROM WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT COMPANY


MARKET REVIEW

       When we last wrote to you six months ago, the Federal Reserve had just
lowered rates for the third time since July 1995, and investors were
anticipating another round of monetary easing in March. Last winter, the
Federal Government had shut down temporarily, the winter blizzards had kept
people from working, several automobile plants were on strike and interest
rates were at their recent lows. Surprisingly, long-term interest rates rose
roughly one hundred basis points (1.00%) since that time. The economy emerged
from its mid-cycle slowdown a little sooner and somewhat stronger than widely
anticipated. Investors feared that the economy was now stronger than the data
had originally suggested and that the Fed may have to tighten credit.

       While the prospect for lower short rates has been eliminated, there are
strong reasons to suggest a period of stable monetary policy, as opposed to one
of prolonged tightening. Consumer spending gains are moderate, as consumers
choose to borrow less and as lenders pull back on the margin. Inflation numbers
should be benign in the months ahead, giving the Fed an additional reason to
keep a steady monetary policy.  Fiscal policy is dormant until after the
Presidential election in November, thus we do not expect a meaningful decline
in long-term rates, nor do we foresee any major upward pressure on rates.

       High-yield and mortgage-backed bonds should perform relatively well in
an environment of moderate growth and low inflation where rates are not
expected to decline or rise dramatically from current levels. While risk
premiums on investment-grade and below-investment-grade corporate bonds have
remained narrow as investors have all but forgotten about credit risk, this
condition may well persist in the current environment. Investors perceive that
liquidity in the capital markets is available for borrowers who may need funds
for various purposes.

       In contrast to the narrow risk premiums offered on corporate bonds
versus riskless U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities continue to offer a
generous yield premium to reward investors for the interest-rate volatility
experienced recently. In the last two and one-half years, long Treasury rates
have gyrated between 6% and 8% creating volatile returns for bond portfolios.
When volatility is high, mortgage yields generally widen to compensate
investors for either prepayment risk or the potential maturity extension of
their securities. If rates stay in a tight trading range going forward over the
next six months, as we expect, the yield premiums available on mortgages will
be generous.

GNMA PORTFOLIO

The sharp rise in interest rates which occurred during the first two fiscal
quarters eliminated the threat to the Portfolio's income stream associated with
refinancing activity. We are happy to report that the Portfolio did not suffer
a significant deterioration in income during the interest rate decline of 1995
and, given the rise in rates during 1996, we expect income to rise modestly
over the course of the year. The Portfolio's income is the good news; the bad
news is that rising interest rates have pushed the Portfolio's net asset value
down. The principal erosion, which was shared by nearly all fixed-income
portfolios, was in line with that experienced by short- and intermediate-term
bond portfolios, and was significantly less than that experienced by
long-maturity bond portfolios. While it is never pleasant to experience
declining principal value, we believe that the degree of principal erosion was
minor, particularly in light of the Portfolio's high credit quality and healthy
income level.

       Although it is never entirely clear which way interest rates will go, it
is clear that the GNMA Portfolio continues to offer shareholders a healthy
yield premium over intermediate-maturity portfolios of comparable quality. We
continue to believe that the yield advantage of GNMAs is attractive and that
shareholders will continue to enjoy a competitive income stream and moderate
principal volatility.

LONG-TERM CORPORATE PORTFOLIO

The Portfolio's average maturity is approximately 20 years as it pursues its
charter as a long-term corporate bond fund. As long rates rose 100 basis points
during the year, the Portfolio's net asset value suffered sharply. The
Portfolio's duration was reduced slightly over the past six months to mitigate





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
the damage from rising rates. At current levels of rates, with long-term
corporate bonds offering a yield premium of 4% over inflation, we expect to
capture some of these appetizing yields by extending duration. The Portfolio
has maintained its excellent call protection, which means that many of the
higher coupon securities purchased at today's generous levels cannot be
redeemed by their issuers when rates eventually decline. Thus, the Portfolio's
income stream has protection from falling interest rates.

       The major risk to this Portfolio, which was evident in the first six
months of 1996 and throughout 1994, is a rise in long-term interest rates. 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 change in interest
rates of 1%.

       The second risk inherent in this Portfolio, which is always present, is
credit deterioration of the corporate issuers. The Portfolio is
well-diversified by issuer and industry. Diversification can soften the blow on
the Portfolio of any one issuer declining in credit quality. Over 90% of the
value of the Portfolio is invested in issues rated "single A" or better. The
Portfolio does not own below-investment-grade corporate bonds, emerging market
debt, or foreign bonds denominated in non-U.S. currencies.  Treasuries and
mortgage-backed securities will not exceed 20%. We will continue to emphasize
well-established larger companies with stable operating histories.

HIGH YIELD CORPORATE PORTFOLIO

The below-investment-grade market has had a relatively strong year in 1996 even
though interest rates have risen sharply.  Below-investment-grade bonds usually
outperform higher-quality bonds in an environment where investors are
anticipating strong economic growth and when interest rates are rising, and
that has been the case in 1996.

       For the full year of 1996 and for 1997, we expect economic growth to be
in the 2% to 3% range. Given this backdrop, we have emphasized economically
sensitive issues, in particular, paper and steel companies, as we do not
anticipate any major problems in the economy that would cause your Portfolio to
suffer meaningful deterioration in credit quality.

       As in the Long-Term Corporate Portfolio, another phenomenon for which we
must be vigilant is merger and acquisition activity.  In the current market
environment, high-yield bond investors have viewed the announcement of a
take-over of one company by another as a positive event. For instance, when a
stronger company is buying a smaller or weaker one for strategic reasons,
high-yield bond prices improve on the news. Prices for a high-yield issuer's
bonds have declined, however, when a company announces that it is buying back
its own stock and is increasing its leverage.

       We exercise in-depth credit research on a company-by-company basis and
emphasize diversification in the Portfolio's construction. The Portfolio
currently owns over 100 issuers representing a broad range of industries and
companies. The Portfolio's holdings continue to be focused on cash-paying
issues rated "B" or better. We maintain a modest U.S. Treasury reserve in the
event that  liquidity is necessary. Our emphasis is on relatively
higher-quality, below-investment-grade bonds. During the past six months, this
strategy has led to underperformance relative to a broad category of high yield
bond funds.

                    REPORT FROM VANGUARD FIXED INCOME GROUP


The first six months of the current fiscal year were anything but friendly
toward holders of fixed-income securities. At the beginning of the fiscal year
(February), fixed-income investors were confronted with three singular economic
events that acted to exacerbate already volatile bond markets. First, terrible
winter weather hit the Northeast part of the United States, slowing
construction and causing many consumers to defer their spending. Second, the
Congressional battle over the debt ceiling that prompted a late-1995 government
shutdown, which furloughed thousands of "non-essential" government workers
early in 1996, was finally approaching a resolution. Third, the economy was
facing a painful and potentially protracted strike in the automobile industry.
The effect of the combination of these three special circumstances was to
disproportionately weaken economic growth in the early weeks of 1996 and
simultaneously (and artificially) buoy bond market participants' expectations
for continued Federal Reserve easing of monetary policy.

       Unfortunately, the days of bond market optimism proved to be
short-lived. The economic "depressants" wore off quickly as the spring months
unfolded. Government workers returned to their jobs, funding of government
programs resumed, consumption and construction activity recovered, and the auto
industry reached a rapid settlement with its unions.

       As a consequence, the pace of economic activity picked up sharply and
bond market participants began to worry that the next Federal Reserve
initiative would not be toward greater monetary accommodation, but rather
toward restrictive monetary policy.  Already skittish, institutional bond
traders began to fixate on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly news
releases of employment data. If the statistics showed stronger growth in jobs
than expected, the bond markets would get pummeled. Weaker-than-expected
numbers were cause for celebration. Indeed, virtually all of the price
volatility that rocked the bond market in the first half of the year occurred
during each of the 60-second intervals immediately following the 8:30 a.m.
Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment announcements.

       The damage (expressed as yield changes) to the markets was spread fairly
evenly among varying bond maturities, one-year securities rose about as much in
yield as 30-year bonds, almost a percentage point each. As the table below
shows, intermediate-term bond yield increases were somewhat larger. The table
displays the beginning and ending yields for Treasury notes and bonds of
representative maturities:

THIRTY-YEAR TREASURY        6.02        6.97        +0.95  
- ----------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

The nine Portfolios of the Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund endured the
upsurge in interest rates in proportions roughly equivalent to their
maturities. The bonds in the longest Portfolios suffered price declines on the
order of 10%, more than offsetting six-months' worth of interest income and
producing negative total returns for the first time since 1994. Bonds in the
intermediate- and short-term Portfolios performed better (price declines of
approximately 6% and 3%, respectively), commensurate with their mathematically
lower price sensitivities, but there really was no safe place to hide besides
money market funds. Details of each Portfolio's income, principal, and total
return are given in the Message To Shareholders.

       Looking ahead, it now is beginning to appear that the fears of the
economy overheating may be overblown. If so, the markets ought to provide us
with a distinctly friendlier environment during the last half of the fiscal
year. As of this writing we've gotten off to a good start. Of pivotal
importance is future Federal Reserve monetary policy. Federal Reserve Chairman
Alan Greenspan and his central bank colleagues often evaluate their options
within the context of "N.A.I.R.U.," an acronym that stands for the
Non-Accelerating-Inflation Rate of Unemployment. While this phrase seems at
first to be economic "technobabble," in reality it refers to a fairly
common-sense relationship. Economic growth,





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
obviously, is desirable, but as the proverb goes "one can easily have too much
of a good thing."  In this case, too much growth (too little unemployment) is
believed to lead to upward pressure on labor costs and upward pressure on
inflation. The "Fed" would prefer to see the economy follow Horace's "golden
mean(1)," and that entails moderation in the pace of expansion in aggregate
demand. Too little growth prompts accommodative policy, too much prompts
monetary tightening. The Fed's policy preferences are crucial because they are
in a position to move short-term interest rates in whatever direction is
required to promote moderation. Unfortunately, economists don't know exactly
what that equilibrium rate of unemployment is, nor can they know whether this
non-inflationary rate of unemployment is stable over time or changes with each
business cycle. Economics is as much a dismal art as it is a dismal science.

       Over the last few years, a good deal has been written on how much of a
good thing economically we actually can enjoy. Many economists conclude the
economy can grow between 2% and 3%, and the unemployment rate can drop to
between 5.5% and 6.0% without undue concern. Given where we are today, market
participants currently seem to believe the economy is close to its fastest
sustainable non-inflationary growth rate. If they're right, the risks of
continued poor bond market results will go up whenever signs of vigor appear
and will abate when evidence of moderation prevails.

       At the beginning of the fiscal year, we managed your Portfolios so as to
provide each with (initially) somewhat less-than-normal participation in the
bond market price volatility. That is, average maturities started out the year
somewhat lower than they've typically been. Subsequently, as interest rates
have risen, we've taken the opportunity to extend maturities back into the
middle of their normal ranges. We hope these deliberate course-corrections
produce somewhat higher and more durable dividends over time, and that the
Portfolios will more fully enjoy any rally in prices that eventually will
ensue. Regardless, they will continue to provide shareholders with extremely
well-defined and cost-effective "baskets" of bond securities, each of which
represents a consistent profile of risk and potential return.

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.

       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 ating 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 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 Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury Portfolio and the
    Intermediate-Term Corporate Portfolio utilize 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 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





                                       28
<PAGE>   29
    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 April 30, 1998, 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 six
months ended July 31, 1996, the investment advisory fees of the Long-Term
Corporate, High Yield Corporate, and GNMA Portfolios represent effective annual
rates of .03 of 1%, .04 of 1%, and .01 of 1% of average net assets,
respectively, after giving effect to fee waivers of $84,000, (an annual rate of
 .01% of 1%), $120,000 (an annual rate of .02 of 1%), and $97,000 (an annual
rate of .01 of 1%) respectively for the period February 1, 1996, to April 30,
1996.

The Vanguard Group 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 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 July 31, 1996,
the Fund had contributed capital of $2,258,000 to Vanguard (included in Other
Assets), representing 11.3% of Vanguard's capitalization. The Fund's directors
and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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